Summer is always full of fresh fruits.
Cherries aren't around long and we love Cherry Fresh Pie also.
Usually, fresh bing cherries don't last a day in our home.
I have to buy twice the amount just to make these! They sure are worth waking up too.
Breakfast muffins chock full of chopped fresh cherries all in a sweet muffin with or without butter are fantastic!
If you rather have Cherry Quick Bread instead, try this recipe. or try some other muffins best quick bread, variety muffins here.
Love Fresh Cherries!
I can eat them every day while in season.
This year I happened to get a not so sweet batch and viola these muffins were born! The best part is they are sweet as summer fruits should be. Hope you like them too!
I don't know about you, but muffins are one of my favorite comfort foods and bing cherries are my favorite fruit, so that's where Bing Cherry Muffins came to mind.
We make them in our home every summer. These are the most asked for morning breakfast muffins besides Sour Cream Apple Pie Muffins, blueberry muffins! Mango Muffins are our other favorites.
Summer fresh dark bing cherries!
These are perfect for summer cherry season, first thing in the morning on a sunny day.
They're a must make every year!
When they're on sale I just pit them add to a freezer bag and have them all year long for these muffins.
I love cherries but sometimes you get a bitter batch and they aren't great for eating, has that ever happened to you? Well, this is the solution.
Make these muffins with them and you will buy them ever year wanting to make a batch I promise you no matter how the crop of them turned out.
They are over the top delicious, great while still warm with a little butter. Over the top awesome!
Best Bing Cherry Muffins or Change it up!
I have also tried this same recipe and with an update for you using blueberries.
I added less sugar just 1/4 cup less and no cinnamon, I added lemon and they came out great.
These really are a very sweet muffin and for all the great bakers out there you can use less. The muffins won't crown as nicely.
As always you can just use chocolate chip and 2 bananas crushed. I have done that as well, they come out very good also.

I experiment a lot with these recipes, not everyone likes cinnamon and you can adjust that flavoring with lemon peel or even orange peel. I have also just used vanilla.
You can decide what flavors you like. I had a reader tell me that chocolate chips and the cherry together were a big hit in their home.
I also had another email saying red raspberry and white chocolate. You can see the incredible combinations you can make.
The dough is quite thick and heavy, you can also just bake it all in a loaf pan for around an hour instead of making muffins.

Pitting the Cherries
what you will need
- kitchen towel, knife, cutting board, bowl or freezer bag to store them in, paring knife, and the cherry pitter is the easiest version!
- Peak season cherries are full of juice and they can stain, use an old kitchen towel tucked in like a bib, or wear old clothes.
- Method 1: Place the cherry on a cutting board. Use the side of a knife to press on the cherry until it gives way. Pry the fruit apart to until you see the pit and discard it.
- Method 2: Take a paring knife and rock it around the entire cherry, as you would an avocado or peach. Twist the fruit into 2 halves to see the pit and take it out.
