Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 5 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 cups cherries, pitted
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Combine applesauce and baking powder in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Puree zucchini in food processor.
  3. Add cherries and pulse a couple times, until cherries are chunked up (you don't have to completely puree mixture, unless you have really picky eaters). You should have about 3-4 cups of mixture.
  4. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl.
  5. Add applesauce, oil and zucchini/cherry mixture.
  6. Add enough buttermilk to make a thick batter. Amount really varies depending on your flour, your cherry mixture, and on the humidity.
  7. Pour batter into muffin tin, about 3/4 full. (I don't use liners, I just spray tin with cooking spray).
  8. Bake @ 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
