Black Forest Muffins

• 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

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.
