Fresh Cherry Muffins

Fresh Cherry Muffins

I used fresh chopped cherries in these muffins, but frozen or canned and drained would also work well.

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped fresh or frozen cherries
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Preparation:

Directions for cherry muffins
Grease and flour 15 muffin cups or line with paper liners. Heat oven to 375°.

In a medium bowl, combine the salt, baking powder, flour, sugar, and cinnamon; add cherries and stir gently to blend. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, flavoring, milk and melted butter until well blended. Stir egg and milk mixture into the dry mixture. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full. Bake cherry muffins at for 20 to 250 minutes.

Makes 12 cherry muffins.
