Ingredients

  • vegan egg replacer equivalent of 1 egg
  • 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup fresh cherries pitted and quartered

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 12-muffin tin with paper liners. Prepare egg replacer according to package directions; set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, egg replacer, and almond extract.
  • Pour the oil mixture into the flour mixture.
  • Stir until fully incorporated. The mixture will be thick; more like a dough than a batter.
  • Gently fold in the cherries.
  • Spoon the muffin mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar over the tops of the muffins.
  • 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.
