Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips
- ¾ cup dried cherries
- 1 cup milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil 2 teaspoons, plus
- 1 egg

- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar, white chocolate chips, and dried cherries until combined.
- Add the milk, oil, egg, and vanilla to a medium bowl or large measuring cup and mix together with a fork until the egg is lightly beaten.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir together until just combined. Do not over mix.

Notes
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, microwave individual muffins for 10-15 seconds or warm them in a 300°F (150°C) oven for about 5 minutes.
