Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cup Flour; all-purpose
  • 4 1/2 ounce Quick oats
  • 2 tablespoon Orange peel; grated
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1 pound + 2 oz pitted sour cherries;
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
  2. 2
    Spray twelve 2 3/4-inch muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners.
  3. 3
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, quick oats, grated orange peel, and baking powder until well combined.
  4. 4
    Gently fold the pitted sour cherries into the dry ingredients to coat them evenly, which helps prevent sinking.
  5. 5
    In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, combine 1 cup of water, thawed frozen orange juice concentrate, vegetable oil, lightly beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  6. 6
    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
  7. 7
    Mix with a fork or spatula just until the flour is moistened; do not overmix, as the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
  8. 8
    Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. 9
    Sprinkle the tops of each muffin evenly with packed brown sugar.
  10. 10
    Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  11. 11
    Remove the pan from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  12. 12
    Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
