Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 units large eggs
- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved
- powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the muffins dense.
Gently fold in the cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled muffins with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your homemade cherry muffins as a delightful treat for any time of day!
