Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon natural brown sugar (for topping)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup natural brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Main Fruit

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and patted dry

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon (natural), and salt to ensure even rising and well-distributed warmth.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, cream the plant-based butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar (natural) until smooth and creamy. Stir in the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) for added depth and tang.
  3. Combine and Fold in Cherries: Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing. Carefully fold in the fresh cherries to keep them intact and evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  4. Add Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent over the batter and mix just enough to blend smoothly without overworking the mixture.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle a light touch of natural brown sugar on top to create a sweet, slightly crunchy crust. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the muffins develop a golden brown color.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Pit cherries carefully and pat dry to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
  • Fold cherries gently to avoid crushing and maintain juicy pockets.
  • Mix the batter just until combined to ensure tender, light muffins.
  • Use room temperature plant-based butter and milk for a smooth and consistent texture.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
