Fresh Cherry Muffins

Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- ½ cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Gently fold in the fresh cherries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden.
- Once done, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If desired, dust the cooled muffins with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
