    These Dried Cherry Muffins are super easy to make. A handful of simple ingredients and 40 minutes of your time and voila! Yummy muffins!
    dried cherry muffins

    Recently I took on the chore of cleaning out my pantry. I found tons of stuff I forgot I still had so I decided to start banging out recipes to use them all up. And that's where this Dried Cherry Muffins recipe comes into play.

    dried cherry muffins

    I honestly don't recall why I purchased this huge bag of dried cherries (Costco?), but it was time to put them to good use. We often see recipes for blueberry muffins or chocolate chip muffins but not very often do we see cherry muffins.

    The original recipe was handwritten on one of those old school recipe cards. Author unknown. The recipe originally called for vegetable shortening instead of butter. That's how old this recipe is. While shortening might be great for a nice flaky pie crust, it just doesn't belong in a muffin or cake mix. At least that's how I feel.

    As this recipe uses buttermilk we only need to use baking soda. If you substitute for regular milk, you will probably need to add some baking powder as well for this muffin recipe to turn out.

    🥛 Buttermilk Substitution

    If you don't have Buttermilk on hand, you can use this trick as a substitute: Add one tablespoon of lemon juice to a measuring cup. Add milk and fill to the 1 cup measurement line. Stir the mixture together and let sit for 5 minutes.

    Have some leftover buttermilk? Use it all up by making this delicious Buttermilk Pie. You won't regret it!
