Ingredients
- Muffins:
- 1 jar canned cherries in light syrup (Note 2,3)
- 250 g flour 8.8 oz/ 2 cups (Note 4)
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 45 g cornstarch, 1.6/ ⅓ cup
- 130 g granulated sugar, 4.6 oz/ ⅔ cup
- 2 eggs medium Germany, large US
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 75 ml neutral-tasting vegetable oil, 2.5 fl. oz/ ⅓ cup (like canola)
- 100 ml milk, 3.4 fl. oz/ scant ½ cup
- 125 g low-fat quark, 4.4 oz/ ⅔ cup
- Icing:
- 50 g icing sugar, 1.8 oz/ ½ cup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Drain the canned cherries.
- Batter: Sieve flour, baking powder, cornstarch into a large bowl. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, oil, milk, and quark. Mix with a handheld mixer for 1 minute.
- Divide the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Top with cherries or other fruit or berries.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until the quark muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Icing: Mix icing sugar and vanilla extract with enough milk to make it spreadable. Drizzle over the muffins.
Notes
- Use a digital kitchen scale when baking; it guarantees for best results.
- 300 g/ 10.6 oz/ 2 cups cherries when drained. You can use the same amount of fresh or frozen cherries instead.
- You can use other fresh, canned, or frozen fruit or berries instead. See the blog post for suggestions.
- I use cake flour most of the time, but all-purpose is ok.
