add to shopping list Ingredients

3/4 cup organic butter, softened
1 cup plus 2 tbsp organic sugar
3/4 cup organic milk
2 organic eggs
1 3/4 cup sifted organic white whole wheat flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup thawed (if previously frozen), pitted, quartered cherries (plus the juice from the thawing process, if applicable)

Preparation

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar over the cherries and toss them so they are covered, then let sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

I use a stand mixer for all of my baking, which makes very quick work of it. Cream the butter and sugar. Add milk and egg and beat until smooth. While the mixer is running, add baking powder, vanilla and salt. Add the flour. Mix until moistened. Fold the cherries (with juice) into the batter. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 375F degrees for 15 minutes. Don’t overcook!

Tip: You can tuck a 1/4 cup of ground flaxseed into each batch of muffins to add fiber and Omega-3 - add an additional 1/4 cup milk to balance it out.
