1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin cases (not cupcake ones as these are too small). Mix the sugar, vanilla, egg, butter and yoghurt together. Sift the flour, baking powder and almonds into a bowl (use a wide mesh sieve), add the liquid ingredients and mix quickly (don't worry if the mix is lumpy), add the cherries and mix.
2. Divide between the muffin cases, sprinkle a little extra sugar onto each and bake for 20 minutes or until risen and golden.

  Easy to make and very tasty. I used frozen cherries and flaked almonds. Worked out fine. I would like to know how to make these a bit lower in fat by substituting the butter by something else. Please post suggestions.

  You can substitute sunflower oil for the butter (not necessarily lower in fat but healthier) and use low fat yoghurt.

  I tried this with fresh cherries but found that because they were so juicy it left the middle of the muffins looking a bit sad and undercooked. I'll probably try with dried, sweetened ones next time to see if it works any better.

  The muffins are really tasty! But I may add bit more baking powder next time as they haven't risen as much as I would expect. All in all very good!

  Super recipe, really easy! I didn't have a muffin tin so I used 3 cupcake ones. The recipe is right, they are too small- I had to eat 2 at a time! But they turned out fine.

  Really good muffin. Ground almonds gave them a lovely subtle flavour and made them lovely and moist

  These are so good. I had no fresh cherries on one occasion, so I used natural coloured glace cherries and cut caster sugar down to 125g. They were just as delicious......

  my favorite muffin recipe!!! Made in different variants: 1. used desiccated coconut instead of grounded almond and chocolate instead of cherries (decided to use what I have at the moment) with almond flakes on top - could not stop my housemates from eating them :)))) 2. again desiccated coconut but with dates (since Christmas don't know where to use them) - mmmmm.... lovely

  These are very tasty and I added white chocolate drops to them, great for those with a really sweet tooth like me!
