Cherry Limeade Muffins

This recipe came about from my desire to use the fresh produce I had on hand. Namely, cherries. I decided to take my favorite raspberry muffin and sub out the raspberries for cherries. Then while I was at it, I thought of the Cherry Limeade Cupcakes that Katie made last weekend, and decided to morph the muffin just a little bit more by adding lime.

Here’s the delicious result:

Ingredients

  • 2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil
  • 2 egg beaten
  • 2 lime zested
  • 1 cup fresh sweet cherries pitted and chopped
  • 2 tbsp demerara sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a muffin pan with papers or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another mixing bowl combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and zest of 1 lime. Beat well to combine.
  • Pour the wet mixture over the dry and add the cherries. Fold in with a rubber spatula just until combined.
  • Scoop the batter into muffin cups, dividing evenly.
  • In a small bowl combine the demerara sugar and zest of 1 lime. Sprinkle the unbaked muffin tops with this sugar-lime zest mixture.
  • Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until tester comes out clean.

Notes

To make ahead: Baked and cooled muffins can be stored in an ziptop freezer bag in the freezer. Thaw on the counter before serving. Refresh in a 350degree oven for 5 minutes, if preferred.
