All hail the muffin!  Individually portioned breakfasts prepared on the quick?  I’m so in!  Especially when they’re dotted with in-season cherries like these Cherry Almond Oatmeal Muffins.  I wasn’t joking about that on the quick part either, thanks to my secret muffin shortcut.  Well, I suppose it’s not so secret anymore as I’m going to tell you all about it!

My Homemade Oatmeal Muffin Mix is the key to these speedy six ingredient Cherry Almond Oatmeal Muffins.  In just ten minutes, they’re ready for a trip to the oven and emerge studded with almonds and cherries and are ready to pair with a cup of your favorite morning beverage.   Couldn’t be easier!  And might I add when you’ve just moved across the country with four small children and you’re in the middle of unpacking but everyone still needs breakfast, easy is indeed the key!

If you’re looking for more muffins to add to your breakfast or brunch menu, my muffin mix is also the shortcut to these Pear Macadamia Oatmeal Muffins and these Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Muffins.

With cherries being in season, it’s time to cherry all the things!  After your morning muffins, you might try these buttery Chocolate Cherry Hand Pies, these make ahead Cherry Berry Banana Overnight Oats or this Cherry Crisp Coffee Cake, the perfect way to celebrate the season!  All three are a great reason to head back to the farmer’s market for even more cherries.
