Cherry Lemon Muffins

I love to make all sorts of muffins at home including sweet corn, banana nut , and pumpkin cream cheese but Cherry Lemon Muffins are definitely my new baking addiction. I’ve been making batch after batch all summer long! G and I just can’t enough of their delicious crumb with generous bits of juicy cherries and hints of tangy lemon flavor.

These lemon muffins are an excellent breakfast or anytime snack; they’re delicious with your cup of coffee or tea. With a unique addition of cream of rice cereal, they make a hearty baked treat you’ll love. The recipe makes about 12 pieces, and if that’s more than what your family can consume in a day, they’ll keep well in the freezer.

Tips on How to Make Cherry Lemon Muffins

  • Mix the dry and wet ingredients separately and make a well in the middle to add the liquid. This is to not overmix the batter or muffins lest they come out very dry and dense. Combine just until moistened, a few lumps here and there are fine.
  • You can substitute other fruits for the cherries such as blueberries, raspberries or strawberries in equal amounts.
  • Use an ice cream scoop for less mess and even portioning.
  • If you want to freeze the muffins for later use, wrap individually in film and then place in resealable bags.
