Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (natural)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, melted
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Main Ingredient
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, thawed and drained
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper cups. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar to create your dry base.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, gently melt the plant-based butter, then whisk in the plant-based milk, vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth and combined.
- Combine and Fold in Cherries: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender. Gently fold in the fresh or thawed cherries, distributing them evenly.
- Fill and Bake: Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- Use room temperature plant-based milk and butter for smooth mixing.
- Stir batter just until ingredients are combined to maintain a light texture.
- Fresh cherries provide the brightest natural flavor and texture.
- Start checking muffins a few minutes before the end of baking time as ovens vary.
- Let batter rest for 5 minutes before baking to develop flavors and improve texture.
