Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 c butter, softened
1 c sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 c frozen, unsweetened tart cherries, well drained, thawed, and divided
2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c milk, divided
sugar for topping

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 12 muffin cups or use paper liners to prepare pan. In a large bowl beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and flavorings. Mix well. Add half of the well drained cherries and set this mixture aside.
  • 2. Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add half of flour mixture to butter mixture and fold in with a spatula. Next add half of milk. Blend in. Then add remaining flour mixture, just blend a bit, and add remaining milk. Fold in remaining cherries.
  • 3. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Sprinkle with sugar, using a generous amount on each muffin. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cherries. Fresh cherries are best, but frozen cherries can also be used. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before using.
  • Use a muffin mix or make your own batter. Both options work well for this recipe. If using a muffin mix, follow the package directions. If making your own batter, combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl and all of the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Then, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups almost to the top. This will ensure that the muffins rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the muffins to set and will make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

These cherry and cream muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give these cherry and cream muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
