Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the wells with cooking spray.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and almond extract until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
-
Gently fold in the sliced almonds and chopped cherries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about three-fourths full.
-
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once done, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve these Cherry Almond Muffins warm or at room temperature. They are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
