Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 3/4 sticks (14 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup almond paste, crumbled (about 3 ounces)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped candied lemon and/or orange peel
1/2 cup candied cherries, quartered
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs, milk, 1 1/2 sticks melted butter, the almond paste and vanilla in a large bowl (it?s OK if the almond paste is still a little chunky). Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until combined. Stir in the candied citrus peel.
  • Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them three-quarters of the way. Top evenly with the candied cherries. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack.
  • Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter in the microwave. Brush the muffins with the butter while still warm, then dust with confectioners' sugar. Let cool completely.

CHOCOLATE CHIP CHERRY MUFFINS



Chocolate Chip Cherry Muffins image

I created these muffins this morning when I couldn't find a recipe for what I wanted. I get my dried cherries from nutsonline.com, and they are very moist (for a dried fruit, that is), so I didn't need to plump them first. Because there is so little fat in the batter, muffin papers will stick, so grease your muffin cups well. These do not rise very high, but they taste wonderful.
