Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, milk, and almond extract until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the cherries gently, being careful not to overmix.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. If desired, sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
- Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
