I LOVE fresh cherries adding them into a delicious muffin is just ONE of my favorite ways to enjoy them.

I’ve made many cherries recipes…

take a look at my Cherry Lime Curd, Cherry Syrup, Cherry Italian Cream Soda, Cherry Margaritas and Cherry Scones.

I add a bit of turbinado sugar to the tops of the muffins before baking, I love a little crunch on top of muffins.

Fresh baked muffins are great to bring to new neighbors, a delicious thank you, or to bring to someone on the weekend to enjoy with a cup of coffee. They are great to serve at brunch too.

Really there is no wrong time for muffins!

Don’t wait to grab a bag of cherries and get baking!
