Fresh Cherry Muffins

Cherries are expensive in my country (Malaysia), so when my kiddo saw some on sale at the mall and requested for them, I bought 5 pcs to try. I don't know if they're sweet or sour cherries (not indicated at the shop). When my kiddo tried it, she hated it.Now, not going to let this expensive fruit go to waste, I searched for an easy recipe and came across this one. So glad I did! Kiddo is at her second piece of muffins now and loves it.I did some ingredient replacements based on what I have at home:- Egg: Substituted with 1/4 cup yoghurt- Almond extract: Substituted with vanilla paste- Oil: Substituted with melted margarine.I also added more milk as suggested by other commenters. Needless to say, my money is saved, cherries are not wasted, and we have delicious muffins for breakfast.Thank you for sharing this recipe!

I've made these muffins several times over the last month or two (cherry season) and they've always been great! Added a whole pitted cherry to the top of each for better presentation.

They were excellent. I used 1 c white flour and 1/2 c whole wheat flour, which provides a bit of crunchiness.

OH. MY. Sooo good. Having read other reviews and seen the consistency of the batter with the amount in the recipe, I used about 1 3/4 cups of milk for a double batch. (My cherry trees were generous this year). Glad I found this recipe before processing, as I could quarter them as I pitted. Other than the additional liquid, I would not change a thing. I froze more quartered cherries for later. YUM.

I used butter instead of oil and added some orange zest and a tsp of fresh orange juice to the batter. I also used 1 tsp of vanilla paste instead of almond extract. They are perfect!

Good recipe. I substituted the almond extract for vanilla and butter instead of oil. I used cherry pie filling instead of cherries. I also used a fork to mash up the cherries a little bit. I didn’t sprinkle any sugar on top either because I think replacing the cherries with cherry pie filling made them sweet enough. They were very yummy.

I hope they taste good! Haven’t tried them yet!
