• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cups whole milk

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter may still have a few lumps.

5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and dried cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

8. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Once cooled, dust the tops of the muffins with powdered sugar if desired, and serve.
