Fold in the cherries. The batter will be a little chunky. This is okay.
-
Divide the batter evenly between each muffin cup – fill them all the way to the top if possible.

Bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees F then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue baking for another 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Notes
- The muffins stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing Instructions: For longer storage, freeze the muffins for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator and heat up in the microwave if desired.
- Sifting: If the cocoa powder has lumps, sift it with the dry ingredients to avoid any dry cocoa powder lumps in the muffins.
