Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Using cooking spray, coat the muffin pan or use muffin liners.
  3. Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl combine all the wet ingredients until they are well mixed.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold until just combined. Do not over mix.
  6. Cut BRACH’S® Cherry Sours in half by flattening each slightly (so they don’t roll) and cut with a sharp knife.
  7. Gently fold BRACH’S® Cherry Sours, chocolate chips and walnuts, reserving ¼ cup of walnuts for the tops.
  8. Spoon the batter evenly into each section of the muffin pan.
  9. Finely mince the remaining walnuts and sprinkle on the tops of the batter.
  10. Bake in the oven for 7 minutes at 425 degrees F then reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and bake for 15-20 min.
  11. Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
