Description
Fluffy, moist cherry muffins inspired by Southern comfort and upgraded with yogurt and fresh or frozen fruit.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp sea salt
2 large eggs
¾ cup plain yogurt
½ cup neutral oil
1½ cups chopped cherries (fresh or frozen, pitted)
1 tsp vanilla bean
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line or grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix eggs, yogurt, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine wet and dry ingredients. Stir gently until just incorporated.
Fold in cherries. Don’t overmix the batter.
Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling ¾ of the way.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if desired.
Bake for 22–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then move to a rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Use silicone muffin liners for easy release.
These muffins freeze beautifully for up to two months.
Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt work just as well.
