Black Forest Muffins

Directions

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