These moist and fluffy cherry muffins are sure to become a summer or even year-round favorite! This recipe uses fresh or frozen cherries and features a hint of cinnamon and a subtle almond flavor. Cherry and almond make for the best combo!
How’s the week going? Today you are in for a real treat with my cherry muffin recipe. Head to your local grocery store or Farmer’s Market pronto to pick up summer’s bounty of fresh cherries. Or substitute frozen for a just-as-tasty version!
Did you know that my home state of Michigan produces 75% of the country’s tart cherry crop and 20% of the sweet cherry crop? How cool is that?
This recipe features dark sweet cherries as well as almond extract for a nice almond flavor spark. Oh, and some cinnamon and cardamom to up the flavor profile even more! Using whole wheat pastry flour and plain yogurt create the fluffiest, moistest muffin.
