Muffin Batter
  • 1 cup cherries, pitted and halved Fresh or frozen cherries, thawed and drained.
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour Plus additional flour for streusel.
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar Packed.
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup buttermilk Can substitute with milk and vinegar.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter with the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the halved cherries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Streusel Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, 0.25 cup flour, and 0.25 cup brown sugar. Drizzle in a bit of melted butter if desired for a crumbly texture, and mix until combined.
Baking
  1. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Sprinkle a generous amount of streusel topping over each muffin.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. These muffins are best enjoyed warm.

Notes

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
