Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted Ensure they are halal-compliant.
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup buttermilk Can substitute with milk + lemon juice.
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Streusel Topping
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup rolled oats
  • 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are perfectly fine! Fold in the cherries gently.
Streusel Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon. Use your fingers to mix in a bit of melted butter until crumbly.
Baking
  1. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
  2. Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm, or let them cool completely before storing.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Freeze muffins in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 15-30 seconds or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–8 minutes.
