Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Muffins
Ingredients:
- 1/2 c. butter, softened
- 3/4 c. packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 t. vanilla or almond extract
- 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/4 c. buckwheat flour
- 1 t. baking powder
- 1/4 t. baking soda
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1 c. applesauce
- 1 c. rolled oats
- 1 c. semisweet chocolate chips (I used minis)
- 1 c. dried cherries
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla.
2. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients; add alternately with applesauce to the creamed mixture.
3. Stir in oats, chocolate, and cherries. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin tins about 3/4 full. Sprinkle tops with rolled oats. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Makes 12 muffins.
Theo helped make these today. We didn't have buckwheat (used whole wheat instead), and subbed in dried cranberries for cherries. Ours were a little crumbly. They would probably be more structured with your suggestion for wheat (or perhaps Theo just over stirred them), but they were still pretty tasty.
