Instructions
-
Place muffin liners in a muffin tin and set aside. If your liners aren’t made of parchment and just paper, you might want to spray them with cooking spray.

In a bowl, toss the cherries with the teaspoon of flour and set aside.
-
In medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, sugar, neutral oil, eggs and vanilla extract. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until barely combined. Add the cherries and chocolate chunks.
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Divide the batter amongst the twelve cavities in the muffin tin. Sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar.
-
Transfer to the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes.

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then carefully remove and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
