Cherry Almond Muffins

Are you a fan of eating cakes for breakfast? Do I even need to ask such a question?! Well, I’m! I’m all up for cakes anytime, everytime, all the time!

If you’ve noticed, I haven't posted many fruity bakes here. If you are an old timer here, you probably know that I’m not a fruit person. Though I’ve changed a teeny tiny bit in the recent years, I still can manage without fruits and am perfectly ok with it.

Though am not a raw fruit person, I tend to eat it, fried or baked ;) Say like this Ethakkappam, Banana Ghee Roast or Apple Cinnamon Muffins or Blueberry Muffins. 

So, when Jose brought these Cherries, I didn't think much of it. Then one day, when I was kinda free and was in a mood to bake, I thought I’ll try something fruity for a change. After all fruits are good for you, right?

I searched for baking recipes using fresh Cherries and found this one. I always prefer simple fuss free recipes for my baking, unless am baking for a special occasion. This is a pretty straightforward recipe, you don't even need an electric beater for this and it’s one bowl, sounds great, right?  

If you ask me, the only time consuming / difficult part of it is pitting cherries, so that gives you an idea about how easy this recipe is.

Now, coming to these muffins. We really enjoyed it! It’s everything a muffin is supposed to be! It has a beautiful dome with a crusty top, soft tender crumbs and a good amount of fresh fruits and nuts in it. The color, texture, flavor… everything was spot on.

And btw, this was the first time ever I ate cherries (*shock*) and I think, I need to eat more Cherries, so I’ll be baking this muffin again n again n again, well you get the picture…

Here is the recipe…
