Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and maraschino cherry juice until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and tender.

Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
