Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plant-based yogurt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Cherry Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh pitted cherries, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prep your cherries: Begin by pitting and roughly chopping fresh cherries, then toss them with a small amount of sugar and a natural gelling agent to create a luscious filling that will soften during baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt for a well-balanced base.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together plant-based yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract for a creamy, flavorful liquid mix.
  4. Bring it all together: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep your muffins tender.
  5. Fold in the cherries: Carefully fold the cherry mixture into the batter, distributing the juicy fruit evenly without crushing them.
  6. Bake to perfection: Spoon the batter into a greased muffin tin and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help everything blend smoothly and promote even baking.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure soft, fluffy muffins instead of dense ones.
  • Chill the cherries separately by tossing them in sugar and a natural gelling agent before folding to prevent sinking.
  • Use fresh cherries when possible for best flavor and texture; frozen cherries can work if thawed and drained well.
  • Check muffins starting at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking, as oven temperatures vary.
