Cherry muffin recipe

If we add a delicious seasonal fruit like cherries to traditional homemade muffins, what do we get? An interesting combination of fruit and cake that everyone will like.

Ingredients for 12 cupcakes

• 24 cherries
• Paper moulds
• 200g flour
• 120 g sugar
• Lemon zest
• 100 g butter
• 60 ml whole milk
• 5 g baking powder
• 3 eggs
• Salt
  
  

Method:

1. Wash and dry the cherries before removing their stones and quartering them.

2. In a separate bowl, mix the baking powder and flour with a pinch of salt and stir until all the ingredients are integrated.

3. Add the butter and sugar to the blender and whisk until evenly mixed.

4. Add the eggs to the mixture one by one, and beat again until all the ingredients are perfectly integrated.

5. Add the lemon zest and gradually incorporate the mixture of flour and baking powder. Do it gradually in 3 parts and mix again with the blender.

6. Add half of the milk and mix again before adding the rest and mixing a final time.

7. Place the moulds in an ovenproof muffin tray and add the mixture little by little.

8. Fill the moulds no more than a third full, so that when the mixture rises they do not overflow.

9. Add the cherry pieces that you cut and set to one side before.

10. It's time to bake our cherry cupcakes. We will put them in the oven preheated to 180º for at least 20 min, depending on the oven.

11. And finally they will be ready, our homemade muffins with a touch of fruit, to enjoy with the little ones.
