Ingredients
  

For the Muffin Batter
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure for a light, fluffy muffin.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness; substitute with brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Essential leavening agent; make sure it's fresh for the best rise.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Balances the sweetness; don’t skip this ingredient!
  • 1 large Egg Binds the ingredients together; can be replaced by a flax egg for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Milk Adds moisture; consider almond or soy milk for a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Melted Butter Contributes rich flavor and moisture; for a lighter muffin, use vegetable oil.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; use pure extract for the best results.
  • 1 1/2 cups Pitted Cherries Fresh, frozen, or canned work well—just be sure to drain canned cherries.
For the Streusel Topping
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Offers sweetness with a caramel note; coconut sugar is a healthier substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Optional, adds warm flavor; nutmeg can be a delightful alternative.
  • 1/4 cup Butter Aids in creating a rich, crumbly topping; ensure it’s softened for easy mixing.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cherry Cobbler Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the egg with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold together until just combined.
  5. Carefully fold in the pitted cherries into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Prepare the streusel topping by mixing brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon, then cutting in softened butter until crumbly.
  7. Scoop the muffin batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full, and sprinkle the streusel topping on top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
