Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Maraschino cherries, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Maraschino cherry juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and maraschino cherry juice until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and tender.

Step 5

Fold in the finely chopped maraschino cherries to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your Mini Maraschino Cherry Muffins, either warm or at room temperature!
