In September of 2020, we took a pandemic-style trip to Door County – stayed in an AirBnb with a private entrance & no shared spaces, ate all our meals carryout, did nothing indoors – and we never had cherry pancakes for breakfast while we were there. So the first Sunday we were back, we had cherry pancakes<\/a> at home. Which left me with about a cup of thawed-out pie cherries, and these muffins are the result. Not a replacement for my Better-Than-Stella’s-Cherry-Muffins<\/a>, simply an alternative.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Makes about 13 muffins<\/em><\/p>\n

2 1\/2 cups unbleached flour (feel free to sub in other types, gluten free, etc.)
\n1\/2 cup grated almond paste
\n2 teaspoons baking powder
\n1 teaspoon baking soda
\n1\/2 teaspoon salt
\n1\/2 cup sugar
\n2 eggs
\n1 cup milk
\n1\/3 cup sour cream
\n5 tablespoons coconut oil (again, feel free to sub in other types, melted butter, vegetable oil, etc.)
\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n1\/2 teaspoon almond extract
\n1\/2 cup King Arthur cherry jammy bits<\/a>, or dried cherries
\n1 scant cup tart cherries, thawed and well-drained if frozen, well-drained if jarred<\/p>\n

sliced almonds and granulated sugar for sprinkling on top<\/p>\n

Heat the oven to 375\u00b0, and line the wells of a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners, or grease them. You may need a custard cup or other container to make muffin #13,<\/p>\n

Place the flour in a large mixing bowl. Add the grated almond paste, and toss, and then add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar, and toss again. Make a well in the center, and add the eggs, milk, sour cream, and extracts. Mix, but only until all the dry ingredients are moistened – the batter will still be quite lumpy – then fold in the bits or dried cherries, and tart cherries.<\/p>\n

Portion the batter into the pan(s) – a muffin scoop is helpful here – and sprinkle the almonds and sugar on top. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until raised and firm.<\/p>\n
