Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon more
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted and cooled
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup milk
- 21 ounces cherry pie filling (divided in half)
- ¼ cup salted butter, cold and cut into cubes (for streusel)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (for streusel)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for streusel)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (for streusel)
- 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream (for streusel)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with parchment paper muffin liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until combined.
- Gently stir in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Drain about 1 cup of the canned cherry pie filling using a strainer and rinse the cherries. Let them drain completely.
- Toss the rinsed cherries in the remaining tablespoon of flour, then fold them into the muffin batter until evenly distributed.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups.
- From the remaining cherry pie filling, drop 2-3 cherries on top of each muffin along with a small amount of pie filling.
- In a separate bowl, use fingers or a fork to mix the cold butter, flour, baking powder, sugar, and cinnamon until crumbles form. Add milk or cream and stir until combined.
- Sprinkle the streusel over the top of the muffins and cherries.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- These muffins are great for breakfast or as a sweet snack.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- You can substitute fresh cherries if you prefer, but be sure to remove the pits and cut them into smaller pieces.
