Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved
  • For the Cobbler Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the muffin batter.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the cherries.
  6. Prepare the cobbler topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle a generous amount of the cobbler topping over each muffin.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If using frozen cherries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter. This helps prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
  • For muffins that are easy to grab and go, ensure they are completely cooled before storing.
  • These muffins freeze well. Wrap cooled muffins tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or gently reheat.
