Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place paper liners into a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a bowl, combine the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, egg, and almond extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and gently stir until just combined. Fold in the fresh cherries. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the tops of the muffins.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
