Grab fresh cherries from the store, Instacart, or straight from the tree, and whip up delicious vegan cherry recipes today.

Introduction

Cherry season is coming in the next few weeks, and I’m so excited to share some vegan cherry recipes with you. Note that cherry-flavored medicine doesn’t taste the same as actual cherries, and there are two cherry types: tart and sweet.

Grab some fresh cherries from the grocery store, Instacart, or off of a tree, and let’s make some cherry recipes today, including but not limited to the following.

Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes
Black Forest Cake
Chocolate Cherry Bombs
Dark Chocolate Cherry Cinnamon Rolls
Cherry Cheesecake Brownies

My cousin loves making cupcakes. If you do, too, try some vegan chocolate cherry cupcakes from ShortGirlTallOrder.

When my mom overheard me talking about Black Forest cake, she thought it sounded delicious, so I had to include it in this blog post. Make some vegan Black Forest cake from The Banana Diaries.

8. Cherry Ripe Cups

When I tell the people I know I'm not a big fan of candy besides chocolate, they think I’m not a McFadden because I’m the only candy hater around. Try some vegan cherry ripe cups from Rainbow Nourishments.

After homemade fruit bread, my next favorite bakery item is muffins because you can make them in whatever flavor you want (mostly) and they're still yummy.
