Father’s Day is just around the corner, summer is almost here, and it’s just about time for sweet cherry season! Picking fresh sweet cherries is half the fun, and eating sweet cherries is the other half! Not sure where to put them? Look no further! We have the perfect sweet cherry recipe for you and dad to enjoy this Father’s Day.

Ingredients

For Muffins

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 cups sweet cherries

For Glaze

  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 – 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F

For Muffins

  1. In a mixer, combine dry ingredients
  2. In a separate bowl, add the maple syrup, coconut oil, and milk. If your milk isn’t room temperature, stick it in the microwave. If it’s too cool it will harden the coconut oil.
  3. Add egg and wet mixture to dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
  4. Add cherries. Fold until combined.
  5. Grease muffin tins and add batter.
  6. Baked for 22-25 minutes (or until toothpick comes out clean).

For Glaze (make while muffins are baking)

  1. Juice lemon into a bowl.
  2. Add and whisk sugar in until it forms glaze.

Drizzle the glaze on top of your muffins just before serving for a satisfying, delicious treat that you and dad will love.
