You’re going to love these muffins.

Aside from the cherries, all the ingredients are basic pantry staples you most likely already have on hand.

The only special piece of equipment needed is a cherry pitter tool. It’s not a requirement necessarily, but a pitter is fun to use and makes quick work of pitting the cherries.

The day I made these muffins, my family ate them for dessert and unanimously agreed that these cherry muffins are the best!

Ingredients for Cherry Muffins

  • vegan egg replacer, equivalent of 1 egg – I used Bob’s Red Mill
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup oat milk, or other mild-flavored plant milk – Unsweetened almond milk also works well.
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and quartered

How to Make Cherry Muffins

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 12-muffin tin with paper liners.

STEP TWO: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.

STEP THREE: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, and almond extract.

STEP FOUR: Pour the oil mixture into the flour mixture.

STEP FIVE: Stir until fully incorporated. The mixture will be thick; more like a dough than a batter.

STEP SIX: Gently fold in the cherries.

STEP SEVEN: Spoon the muffin mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar over the tops of the muffins.

STEP EIGHT: Bake 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Set on a wire rack to cool then serve.

    There’s something so luxurious about cherries, they’re a true delight. Your muffins sound awesome and luckily I have a cherry pitter. Now I just need to find some cherries.

    I cannot get enough of these muffins! The cherries give it so much depth and each bite is so flavorful. I love the granulated sugar on top. It’s the perfect summer treat!

    I love cherries and muffins so the two things together Yum! I agree with your recommendation of a cherry pitter, I did it the long way once. Pitting a 1lb of cherries the old fashioned way. Took forever, fingers dyed red… so I’m all for a cherry pitter. The flavour is going to be amazing though. Thank you for sharing.
