1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup candied cherries, quartered
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

  • For a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
  • For a more moist muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of milk to the batter.
  • To make gluten-free muffins, use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
