Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups pitted sour cherries, fresh or frozen (if using frozen, do not thaw)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Gently fold in the sour cherries.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For added crunch, sprinkle the tops with a little extra granulated sugar before baking.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
