Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural flavoring)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Main Additions
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon (natural flavoring), and granulated sugar until evenly mixed to ensure a consistent rise.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the unsweetened plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetable oil, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until well combined.
- Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold using a spatula. Avoid overmixing as a few lumps are acceptable to maintain tenderness and fluffiness.
- Add Cherries and Natural Gelling Agent: Carefully fold in the fresh or frozen cherries along with the natural gelling agent, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed without breaking it up.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into a prepared muffin tin lined with paper cups or lightly greased, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the tin.
Notes
- If using frozen cherries, toss them in a little flour before folding into the batter to prevent sinking.
- Mix the batter only until combined to avoid dense muffins.
- Use room temperature plant-based milk and vegetable oil for a smoother batter and even baking.
- Use an oven thermometer to ensure steady baking temperature.
- Fill muffin cups about three-quarters full to achieve nicely domed muffins without spills.
