Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg, large
• 1.5 cups Cherries, pitted and chopped
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once the muffins have cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar, if desired, for an added touch of sweetness.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy these delicious cherry muffins!
