Cherry Muffins With Dates Recipes

CHERRY MUFFINS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Grease a 12 muffin and cupcake pan with cooking spray or add a teaspoon of cooking oil to each one. Alternately, you can line them with cupcake wrappers.
• First, you will create the streusel mixture. In a small bowl, microwave the butter for about ten seconds until it is very soft.
• Add the flour, sugar, and cinnamon, using a fork to combine them until the mixture is dry and crumbly and all the butter is incorporated. Set the streusel topping aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Add the cherries and toss them with the dry ingredients to coat.
• Add the sugar and stir to combine. In a smaller bowl, beat the egg and then add in the yogurt, vegetable oil, and milk. Stir in the vanilla.
• Using a spatula, stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Do not over mix the muffin batter or your muffins will be tough.
• Spoon the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Top each muffin with a small spoonful of the streusel topping, evenly distributing it. Bake the muffins for about 18 to 20 minutes or until the center of the muffins spring up when lightly touched.
• Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before removing them from the pan. These muffins are best served when slightly warm, but they are not bad when cool either.

CHERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Get your oven ready to bake by preheating it to 390°F/200°C.
• In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This step ensures that all of the dry ingredients are mixed well and you don't get any pockets of baking powder in your finished muffins.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar with oil, milk, egg, and almond extract. Mix until well combined.
• Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ones: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined. Do not overmix.
• Fold in the cherries. The muffin batter should be thick enough to hold up the fruit, I did that on purpose because we don't want the cherries falling to the bottom of the muffins.
• Divide the batter between 8 lined muffin cups so that each is ¾ of the way filled.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until done.
• Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack completely before eating or serving.

DATE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Butter 18 muffin cups and line with paper liners. In a medium saucepan, bring about 3 cups water to a boil over medium heat. Put the chopped dates in a medium bowl and cover with the hot water. Let the dates soften, about 10 minutes.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the 1 cup cool water, molasses, eggs, vanilla and salt; beat briefly to combine (the mixture may look curdled and runny).
• In another medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
• Drain the dates, discarding the liquid, and spread them out on a baking sheet to cool. Flatten the dates with the back of a spoon to crush any larger pieces. When cooled, stir the dates into the batter.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them almost to the top. Bake in the middle of the oven until the muffins are golden brown and spring back when gently pressed, 20 to 27 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer the muffins to a rack to cool completely.
