Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.75 cups Fresh or frozen cherries (pitted and chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Gently fold the chopped cherries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled muffins with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your delicious mini cherry muffins!
