Tips:

Use fresh or frozen black cherries: Fresh cherries are in season during the summer months, but frozen cherries can be used year-round. If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely before using.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help them set.

Conclusion:

These black cherry blossom muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack.
