Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additions:
- 1 cup pitted fresh cherries (or frozen cherries, thawed and drained)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Assemble the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix. Fold in the cherries evenly.
- Prepare the Cobbler Topping: In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the diced butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fill & Top Muffins: Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the cobbler topping evenly over the batter in each cup.
- Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can substitute cherries with other fruits like blueberries or raspberries.
- For a more indulgent treat, serve the muffins with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
