Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

In a larger bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Add the softened oat and milk mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir to combine.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold the chopped cherries into the muffin batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious cherry oatmeal muffins!
