Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Cherries (pitted and halved, fresh or frozen)
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (cold, diced, for topping)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 5

Gently fold in the pitted and halved cherries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

In a small bowl, prepare the crumble topping by mixing the brown sugar, cinnamon, diced cold butter, and 1/2 cup flour with your fingers or a fork until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the muffin batter.

Step 8

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Step 10

Enjoy these Washington House Inn Cherry Muffins with your favorite cup of coffee or tea!
