Here’s a simple recipe for cherry cobbler muffins:
Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and chopped
For the cobbler topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped cherries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour and sugar for the cobbler topping. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the cobbler topping evenly over the muffin batter in the cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the cherry cobbler muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
These muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet treat any time of day. Feel free to customize the recipe by adding nuts or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to suit your taste preferences.
