# How to Make It:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.

In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the egg, milk, canola oil, and almond extract until evenly combined.

Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined and no dry flour remains.

Gently fold chopped maraschino cherries into the batter, distributing evenly but avoiding overmixing.
05 -
Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and muffin tops are lightly golden.
06 -
Remove muffins from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack placed over wax paper to cool completely.
07 -
In a mixing bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, melted butter, maraschino cherry juice, and almond extract. Whisk until smooth.

Drizzle or spoon glaze generously over cooled muffins. Allow glaze to set before serving.
