Ingredients

Scale

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 ease removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening and salt throughout the batter.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined, providing moisture and flavor to the muffins.
  4. Assemble the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make muffins tough. Fold in the cherries evenly for bursts of juicy flavor in every bite.
  5. Prepare the Cobbler Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the diced cold butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the topping resembles coarse crumbs. This crumbly topping adds a sweet, spiced crunch.
  6. Fill & Top Muffins: Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow space for rising. Sprinkle the cobbler topping evenly over each muffin, ensuring every muffin gets a delicious crust.
  7. Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating the muffins are fully cooked.
  8. Cool & Serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the delightful cherry cobbler flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and light.
  • If using frozen cherries, ensure they are fully thawed and drained to avoid soggy batter.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use vegan butter or coconut oil for topping.
  • These muffins are best eaten within 2-3 days, stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Adding a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top before baking can add a pleasant crunch and sparkle.
