Ingredients

Scale

For the Muffins:

  • 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)

For the 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 cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of the leavening and seasoning agents.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniformly blended.
  4. Assemble the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep muffins tender. Carefully fold in the pitted cherries so they are evenly distributed without breaking up.
  5. Prepare the Cobbler Topping: In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Add the diced cold butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This topping provides a sweet, crisp finish to your muffins.
  6. Fill & Top Muffins: Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Evenly sprinkle the cobbler topping over each muffin, adding a delightful crunch and cinnamon flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  8. Cool & Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the delicious cherry cobbler taste in every bite.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of flavor, place a few whole pitted cherries on top of each muffin before baking.
  • If using canned cherries, make sure to drain them thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
  • Feel free to substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a subtle different flavor and healthier fat profile.
  • These muffins freeze well – wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
