Steps:
- Get your oven ready to bake by preheating it to 390°F/200°C.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This step ensures that all of the dry ingredients are mixed well and you don't get any pockets of baking powder in your finished muffins.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar with oil, milk, egg, and almond extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ones: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the cherries. The muffin batter should be thick enough to hold up the fruit, I did that on purpose because we don't want the cherries falling to the bottom of the muffins.
- Divide the batter between 8 lined muffin cups so that each is ¾ of the way filled.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until done.
- Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack completely before eating or serving.

CHEERY CHERRY MUFFINS
We were very lucky to have once had a home with a cherry tree that produced an abundance of fresh baking cherries. I used to make these muffins a lot when I had fresh cherries on hand, and I kept bags of them in the freezer pre-measured for this recipe. These are not sweet eating cherries - these are baking cherries. The original recipe came from a flyer from the Cherry Marketing Institute.

Steps:
- While cherries are still frozen, cut them into halves, then set aside to thaw and drain in a mesh colander over a bowl.
- Cream butter and sugar using an electric mixer.
- Add eggs, almond extract, and vanilla and beat well.
- Crush 1/2 cup of the thawed cherries with a fork; add the mashed cherries to the batter.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Fold half of the flour mixture into the butter mixture using a spatula; do not overmix.
- Add half of the cream or milk, mixing just enough to combine.
- Add remaining flour, then remaining milk; again avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the remaining cherry halves.
- Fill 12 paper-lined muffin tins with batter.
- If desired, you may sprinkle the muffins with some extra sugar.
- Bake in a preheated 375 F oven until golden brown, about 20-30 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh cherries. Fresh cherries have a much better flavor than frozen or canned cherries. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using them.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help the muffins to rise and brown properly.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Conclusion:
Cherry muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make cherry muffins that are light, fluffy, and full of flavor. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give cherry muffins a try!
