Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Maraschino cherries, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Maraschino cherry juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and maraschino cherry juice until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and tender.
Fold in the finely chopped maraschino cherries to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Mini Maraschino Cherry Muffins, either warm or at room temperature!
