Homemade Cherry Nutmeg Muffins

Welcome back friends! Summertime is still a good time for baked treats, especially muffins made with fresh cherries! I baked these cherry nutmeg muffins for my family, and they are perfect for breakfast or brunch! Let me show you how to make them!

INGREDIENTS
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened 
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 teaspoon of almond extract
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of nutmeg
  • 2 cups of cherries, pitted and quartered
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 375 F and spray a jumbo muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar.
  3. Add the milk and almond extract to the butter/sugar combination and whisk until well incorporated, then set it aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, flour and nutmeg.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients in to the wet ingredients and mix until they are a well combined batter. Set the batter aside.
  6. After pitting and quartering the cherries, pat them dry with a paper towel and then dust them with flour (so they won’t sink to the bottom of your muffins) and gently fold them into the batter.
  7. Scoop the batter into the prepared jumbo muffin tin, filling each mould 3/4 of the way full.
  8. Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each comes out clean!
  9. Allow to cool and enjoy!

Mrs. Frankenstein’s Double Dutch Cherry Muffin Recipe (FrankenWeenie)

Mrs. Frankenstein's Double Dutch Cherry Muffins from Disney and Tim Burton's FrankenWeenie.INTRODUCTION

Welcome to my very first recipe post! This week we are baking Mrs. Frankenstein’s Double Dutch Cherry Muffin’s from Tim Burton’s stop-motion animated film, Frankenweenie.

Mrs. Frankenstein's Double Dutch Cherry Muffins from Disney and Tim Burton's FrankenWeenie. Mrs. Frankenstein's Double Dutch Cherry Muffins from Disney and Tim Burton's FrankenWeenie.This recipe is featured in Mrs. Frankenstein’s cookbook, along with the Dutch Apple cake we’ll be making next week. I kept the recipe as true to the film’s version as possible with a few minor differences. Firstly, I expanded on the instructions. Secondly, I added 1/2 tsp. of salt to the batter to help enhance flavor and thirdly, I substituted whipped heavy cream for the double cream. Double cream, I found, is more so common in the United Kingdom and not so easily obtainable here in the United States.
