Sugar: Granulated sugar adds sweetness, while brown sugar can offer a lovely molasses flavor.
Baking Powder: Essential for creating fluffy muffins; be sure it’s fresh for best results.
Salt: Just a pinch enhances flavors and balances sweetness.
Butter: Use unsalted butter for better control over seasoning; melt it for ease of mixing.
Milk: Whole milk provides richness, but you can use any milk you prefer or have on hand.
Eggs: Large eggs will bind everything together beautifully, ensuring a perfect texture.
Vanilla Extract: A splash adds warmth and depth to your muffins; always use pure vanilla if possible.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners; this step keeps things tidy.

Prepare Cherries: Wash and pit your fresh cherries before chopping them into halves or quarters. The juiciness of these beauties is key to flavor!

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of flavors.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat together melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. This mixture should smell heavenly!

Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix—lumps are okay!

Fold in Cherries: Gently fold in your prepared cherries until evenly distributed throughout the batter. This is where magic happens; those beautiful chunks will shine in every muffin.

Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into each muffin cup about two-thirds full. Give them some space to rise; nobody likes flat muffins!

Bake Muffins: Place your filled muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool & Enjoy: Allow your muffins to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm and watch everyone swoon!
