How to Make Mini Maraschino Cherry Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Grease the bottoms of 24 miniature muffin cups or 12 regular-size muffin cups with shortening or cooking spray. Alternatively, line with paper baking cups.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, softened butter, milk, and egg using a fork or wire whisk until well blended and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until the flour is moistened. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped maraschino cherries and toasted slivered almonds (if using).
  7. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
  9. While the muffins are baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar with enough milk or lemon juice to create a smooth, pourable glaze.
  10. Once baked, immediately remove the muffins from the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
