Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cherries, washed, stems and pits removed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

Crumb Topping Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Cherry Filling

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cherry Filling: Wash fresh cherries, remove stems and pits, then toss gently with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural) to enhance their sweetness and add a hint of spice.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour (or gluten-free flour blend), baking powder, sugar, salt, and natural gelling agent to ensure even distribution and a fluffy muffin base.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend plant-based milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce until well combined to create a moist and flavorful batter.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until moistened. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender and light.
  5. Fold in Cherries: Carefully fold the prepared cherry filling into the batter, ensuring even distribution without crushing the cherries.
  6. Prepare the Crumb Topping: Mix brown sugar (natural), cinnamon (natural), a pinch of salt, natural gelling agent, and vegetable oil until crumbly and ready to sprinkle on top of the muffins.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups and Add Topping: Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Generously sprinkle the crumb topping on each muffin.
  8. Bake the Muffins: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use the freshest cherries available for the best flavor and juiciness.
  • Stir the batter just enough to combine the ingredients; do not overmix to avoid dense muffins.
  • Gently fold in the cherries to prevent them from sinking or coloring the batter.
  • Ensure the crumb topping is coarse enough for texture but not so large it falls off easily.
  • Verify your oven temperature to bake the muffins evenly and prevent soggy centers.
