Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for fruit and chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups fresh cherries stems removed and pitted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 18 muffin cups with paper baking cups and spray with cooking spray
  • In a bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. 
  • Allow the butter to cool slightly and add slowly to the milk mixture, being careful not to "cook" the eggs. Whisk until smooth. 
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the wet ingredients to the center. Use a wooden spool to beat until smooth and well mixed, about 1 to 2 minutes. 
  • Toss the white chocolate chips in a little bit of flour, until they are lightly coated. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of your muffins.
  • Fold in the white chocolate chips, being careful to over mix. 
  • Toss the pitted cherries lightly in flour, then fold into the muffin batter, until just mixed.
  • Spoon the batter into greased, lined muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds of the way. Do no overfill.
  • Bake until golden, about 20-25 minutes. (Cooking times may vary, depending on your oven.) A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean. 
  • Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove from muffin tin.
