Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1½ cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup milk
1 egg
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1¼ cup fresh cherries (pitted and left whole)

Steps:

  • Get your oven ready to bake by preheating it to 390°F/200°C.
  • In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This step ensures that all of the dry ingredients are mixed well and you don't get any pockets of baking powder in your finished muffins.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar with oil, milk, egg, and almond extract. Mix until well combined.
  • Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ones: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Fold in the cherries. The muffin batter should be thick enough to hold up the fruit, I did that on purpose because we don't want the cherries falling to the bottom of the muffins.
  • Divide the batter between 8 lined muffin cups so that each is ¾ of the way filled.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until done.
  • Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack completely before eating or serving.

CHEERY CHERRY MUFFINS



Cheery Cherry Muffins image

We were very lucky to have once had a home with a cherry tree that produced an abundance of fresh baking cherries. I used to make these muffins a lot when I had fresh cherries on hand, and I kept bags of them in the freezer pre-measured for this recipe. These are not sweet eating cherries - these are baking cherries. The original recipe came from a flyer from the Cherry Marketing Institute.

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups frozen unsweetened tart red cherries, pitted,divided
1/2 cup sweet unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup half-and-half cream, whole milk or 1/2 cup light cream

Steps:

  • While cherries are still frozen, cut them into halves, then set aside to thaw and drain in a mesh colander over a bowl.
  • Cream butter and sugar using an electric mixer.
  • Add eggs, almond extract, and vanilla and beat well.
  • Crush 1/2 cup of the thawed cherries with a fork; add the mashed cherries to the batter.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  • Fold half of the flour mixture into the butter mixture using a spatula; do not overmix.
  • Add half of the cream or milk, mixing just enough to combine.
  • Add remaining flour, then remaining milk; again avoid overmixing.
  • Fold in the remaining cherry halves.
  • Fill 12 paper-lined muffin tins with batter.
  • If desired, you may sprinkle the muffins with some extra sugar.
  • Bake in a preheated 375 F oven until golden brown, about 20-30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries: This will ensure the best flavor in your muffins.
  • Pit the cherries before using: This will make it easier to eat the muffins.
  • Toss the cherries in sugar before adding them to the batter: This will help to prevent the cherries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: This will make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

These cherry muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with fresh cherries, which give them a sweet and tart flavor. The muffins are also moist and fluffy, thanks to the use of buttermilk and melted butter. Whether you are looking for a quick breakfast or a sweet snack, these cherry muffins are sure to please.
