   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2           cups  whole-wheat flour
   1                cup  all-purpose flour
      1/2           cup  granulated sugar
   1         tablespoon  baking powder
      1/4      teaspoon  salt
   1 1/4           cups  2% milk -- or whole
      1/2           cup  vegetable oil
   1              large  egg
   1         tablespoon  vanilla extract
   1 1/2           cups  fresh sour cherries -- pitted and halved
   3             ounces  chopped dark chocolate
   1         tablespoon  coarse sugar

If there ever was a perfect time to treat yourself to a dark 
chocolate-studded muffin for breakfast, it's while sour cherries are 
making their much-awaited appearance at the farmers market. Sour 
cherry season is fleeting - blink and you just might miss it. So, 
when you spot them at the farmers market pick up a basket without 
hesitation, then preheat the oven and pull out the mixing bowls as 
soon as you get home because you're making these nutty, chocolate, 
sour cherry-filled muffins.

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 375F. Line a 
standard 12-well muffin pan with papers liners or coat the wells with 
cooking spray; set aside.

Whisk the flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large 
bowl. Whisk the milk, oil, egg, and vanilla together in a medium bowl 
until combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and mix with a wooden spoon or 
rubber spatula until just combined. Some lumps are fine. Fold in the 
sour cherries and chocolate. Divide the batter among the muffin 
wells. Top each with 1/4 teaspoon coarse sugar.

Bake until the muffins are golden-brown and a toothpick inserted into 
the center of a muffin comes out clean, 17 to 20 minutes. Cool the 
muffins in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling 
rack to cool completely.

NOTES: The muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room 
temperature for up to 3 days.
