Muffin Ingredients

Method

Muffin Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the egg until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not over-mix.

  5. 5

    Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture

    In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. You can add a little sugar if you prefer it sweeter.

  6. 6

    Fold in Cherries

    Gently fold the chopped cherries into the muffin batter.

  7. 7

    Fill Muffin Tin

    Spoon a tablespoon of muffin batter into each muffin cup. Add a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top, followed by more muffin batter until the cups are about 2/3 full.

  8. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
