Cherries have a long association with America’s first president, George Washington, who supposedly cut down a cherry tree and could not tell a lie. While working on this recipe, I was reminded of our eighth grade YOB graduation trip (yes, it was many years ago!) to Washington D.C., where thousands of cherry blossoms bloom each spring — a most incredible sight. These pink-tinged muffins are a special treat for dessert or with a cup of tea.
2 cups Glicks Flour
4 teaspoons Haddar Baking Powder
1/2 cup sliced or chopped almonds (sliced is preferable), divided
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon salt
1–2 teaspoons coarsely grated orange rind, or to taste
2 eggs
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon Gefen Almond Extract
1/4 cup oil
6 tablespoons soy milk
1 14-oz (400 gram) container cherry pie filling (or make your own – see Homemade Cherry Pie Filling recipe)
Combine flour, baking powder, half of the almonds, wheat germ, salt, and orange rind in a large bowl, and mix thoroughly.
Whisk eggs, sugar, almond extract, oil, and soy milk until well blended.
Add to flour mixture and stir just until combined. (If mixture appears too dry or stiff, add a small amount of soy milk.)
Add cherries and blend together quickly.
Spoon into muffin tins.
Sprinkle remainder of almonds on top of muffins.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for 22–25 minutes or until they just begin to brown on top.
