These muffins are not only easy to make, but they also bring a touch of spring at any time of the year. The caramelized cherries and fluffy texture make these muffins an unforgettable treat. Necessary ingredients: - 200 g fresh or frozen cherries - 150 g sugar - 200 g flour - 1 packet (10 g) baking powder - 1 packet (40 g) vanilla pudding powder - 2 eggs - 100 ml milk - 100 ml oil - 1 teaspoon vanilla essence - A pinch of salt Step-by-step instructions: 1. Preparing the cherries: Wash the cherries well and, if fresh, remove the pits. If using frozen cherries, there is no need to thaw them before use. Put the cherries in a blender and blend until you get a smooth paste. 2. Caramelizing the cherries: Transfer the cherry paste to a saucepan and add 100 g of sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes thicker, about 5-7 minutes. This step will intensify the cherry flavor and add a pleasant sweetness to the muffins. 3. Mixing the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, pudding powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well with a spatula or whisk to ensure even distribution of the ingredients. 4. Combining the wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs with the remaining sugar (50 g) until they become a frothy mixture. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla essence, mixing all the ingredients well. 5. Combining the mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and, using a spatula, gently mix until you achieve a homogeneous composition. Be careful not to overmix, or the muffins will be dense. 6. Adding the cherry paste: Gently incorporate the caramelized cherry paste into the batter, leaving a few tablespoons for decoration. Mix lightly so as not to completely destroy the airy texture. 7. Baking the muffins: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Fill the muffin molds with the batter, leaving a little space for rising. Place a teaspoon of the cherry paste on top of each muffin for an attractive appearance. Bake the muffins for 25-30 minutes or until golden and pass the toothpick test. 8. Cooling and serving: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely. You can sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for an elegant look. These muffins are delicious served warm, but can also be enjoyed cold. Useful tips: - You can also use other fruits instead of cherries, such as raspberries or blueberries, to vary the flavors. - If you want a fluffier texture, replace some of the flour with almond flour. - These muffins are excellent served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a chocolate sauce on top. Enjoy these cherry blossom muffins, which are not only easy to prepare but also a true feast for the taste buds!
