Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a sharp knife to chop the walnuts and cherries. This will help to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen the muffins.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to set and make them easier to handle.
