Ingredients

Scale

Gathering your ingredients is like gathering old friends; each one plays an essential role in the final masterpiece. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup milk (I often use whole milk for a richer texture)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
  • For the crumble topping:
    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Substitution Tip: If fresh cherries aren’t available, frozen cherries work beautifully as well—just be sure to thaw and drain them before using. For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with almond milk and use a vegan butter alternative.

Instructions

Let’s bring these muffins to life! Follow these steps and enjoy the process—each one is a step closer to deliciousness:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good whisk to ensure everything is well mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!
  5. Gently fold in the cherries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. For the crumble topping, combine flour and brown sugar in a small bowl. Add the cold butter and use your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over each muffin.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Personal Tip: If you’re baking with kids, let them help with the crumble topping. It’s a fun and messy task that they’ll love!
