Ingredients
  

Muffin Batter
  • 2 cups All purpose flour For structure
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar For sweetness
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder To help them rise
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavor
  • 2 large Eggs Helps bind everything
  • 1 cup Milk Regular or unsweetened alternative
  • 1/2 cup Butter Melted for the batter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds cozy flavor
  • 2 cups Cherries Fresh, frozen, or canned, preferably tossed with flour to prevent sinking
Cobbler Topping
  • 2 tablespoons All purpose flour For the topping
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar Optional but recommended for the topping
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Adds a warm flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Cut in until crumbly

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, leaving a few small lumps.
  5. Gently fold in the cherries.
Topping and Baking
  1. In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together for the topping, then cut in the butter until crumbly.
  2. Spoon the muffin batter into the cups, filling them about 3/4 full, and sprinkle the cobbler topping on each one.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  4. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.

Notes

For the best texture, serve slightly warm. The muffins can be frozen and reheated as needed.
