  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Muffin Batter

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pitted fresh cherries (or frozen cherries, thawed and drained)

Cobbler Topping

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of muffins.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of leavening and sweetness throughout the batter.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated for a consistent batter texture.
  4. Assemble the Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir gently and just until combined; do not overmix to avoid tough muffins. Gently fold in the pitted cherries evenly to distribute the fruit without breaking them.
  5. Prepare the Cobbler Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Add the cold, diced butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This topping will add a sweet, crunchy finish.
  6. Fill & Top Muffins: Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising. Evenly sprinkle the cobbler topping over each muffin for a delightful crust.
  7. Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating doneness.
  8. Cool & Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh cherries with frozen ones; ensure they are thawed and well-drained to prevent excess moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
  • For a different flavor twist, add a tablespoon of lemon zest or a handful of chopped nuts to the batter.
  • These muffins freeze well; store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
  • Use paper liners for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
