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
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 units large eggs
• 1.5 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved
• 0 powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds 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 muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, dust the cooled muffins with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your homemade cherry muffins as a delightful treat for any time of day!
