Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder (natural)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk

Fruit and Texture Enhancers

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Make sure your plant-based butter is softened and your cherries are pitted if using fresh.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, and brown sugar (natural) to ensure even leavening and spice distribution.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the softened plant-based butter with eggs, vanilla extract (natural), and plant-based milk until smooth and creamy for moisture and richness.
  4. Fold wet and dry mixtures: Gently combine the wet ingredients with the dry until just blended. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
  5. Add cherries and natural gelling agent: Fold in the juicy cherries and the natural gelling agent to maintain moisture and a soft crumb throughout the muffins.
  6. Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into a muffin tin lined with paper cups or lightly greased. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving to let flavors mellow and the structure set beautifully.

Notes

  • Using frozen cherries is fine; no need to thaw before adding to the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light and tender muffin texture.
  • Ensure butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature for smooth blending.
  • Check muffin doneness starting at 20 minutes to prevent overbaking.
  • Optionally, add a streusel topping made from cinnamon and sugar before baking for added crunch.
