Chef's Notes
Always use fresh sour cherries if you can find them, but high-quality canned tart cherries in water will also yield magnificent results.
Pro Tip
Toss your chopped cherries in a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking straight to the bottom of the muffin.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the entire bowl of dark chocolate chunks onto the kitchen floor and spending twenty minutes picking up candy while your oven gets dangerously hot.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the muffin go to school? Because it wanted to be a little bread smarter!
The Culinary Science
The combination of acidic cocoa powder and sour cherries reacting with baking soda creates extra carbon dioxide bubbles, giving these muffins a remarkably light and fluffy crumb.

Starch Retrogradation Reversal
Storage Science
Store at room temperature in a breathable bread bag or paper wrapper for up to 2 days. DO NOT refrigerate, as the cold accelerates starch retrogradation (staling). For long-term storage, freeze tightly wrapped.
Reheating Science
To reverse staling, flick a few drops of water onto the crust and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes. The steam will re-gelatinize the starches, making the crumb soft and the crust crisp.
