Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
In a larger bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the softened oat and milk mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold the chopped cherries into the muffin batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters 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 muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious cherry oatmeal muffins!
