Chocolate Cherry Muffins

November 22, 2011 by Jaida 7 Comments

I know you might be thinking, didn’t she just have an SRC post a couple of weeks ago? Why yes, I did. But I volunteered to be a fill-in should anyone’s blog ever be unexpectedly orphaned, and I was called upon today to make good on my offer. And gladly so! I was given the blog Samayal Arai, which has a lot of Indian recipes, as well as eggless and healthy options! Because I wanted to make something quickly so that the post could be added to the round-up, I wanted to select something fairly simple (Indian food can sometimes take more time, and even though it would be worth it, I was more concerned with being timely) and when I saw these muffins, I knew they’d be a winner!! Stop by her blog and check out the array of fantastic recipes she has to offer!!
The Secret Recipe Club is an awesome way to gain exposure to blogs that you may not find on your own, and recipes that you may never think to try. If you are interested in joining, we’d love to have you! Go to the link above and check it out!!
Chocolate Cherry Muffins
Slightly adapted from Samayal Arai
Ingredients
·         1 1/4 c. flour
·         1/2 c. whole wheat flour
·         2 t. baking powder
·         1/2 t. baking soda
·         1/4 t. salt
·         2 T. cocoa powder
·         3/4 c. sugar
·         1/2 c. chocolate chips
·         1/2 c. cherries
·         1 c. milk
·         1/2 c. oil
·         1 egg

·         1 t. pure vanilla extract

 

Preparation
1.     In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients, including the chocolate chips and cherries.
2.     In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, egg and vanilla extract.
3.     Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until completely moistened and combined.
4.    Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
