Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the cherries.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For best flavor, use fresh cherries. Frozen cherries work as well; just thaw and drain them.
