  2. Cream butter and sugar using an electric mixer.

  4. Crush 1/2 cup of the thawed cherries with a fork; add the mashed cherries to the batter.
  5. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  6. Fold half of the flour mixture into the butter mixture using a spatula; do not overmix.

  11. If desired, you may sprinkle the muffins with some extra sugar.
