Cherry muffins with crumble topping

July 30, 2021

Delicate, soft muffins with cherries are a great solution when you crave something sweet but there is nothing to eat. Sour cherries combined with a sweet, crunchy crumble taste really good. The recipe is extremely simple, and most importantly, you’ll prepare it in the blink of an eye. A little over half an hour and hot muffins will land on your table. Muffins with the crumble keep well for a long, and the next day they taste as delicious as right after baking. That's why I recommend them for a picnic or a summer trip. Let’s bake?

I really like to bake muffins, probably because they are so easy to make. Anyone who has tried to bake muffins at least once knows what I’m talking about. It all comes down to measuring the ingredients, mixing them, putting them into a muffins tray and baking! A little over half an hour and our sweet snack is ready. It couldn't be easier. It’s also a great recipe for those who don’t have a mixer, a kitchen whisk or a spoon will work here.

Muffins with cherries - tips

Don’t skip the oat crumble, this sweet, crunchy addition works well with sour cherries. Without it, these simple muffins may not be sweet enough.

If you don't have oat flour at home, that's not a problem. Use a coffee grinder or blender and grind your oats into flour.

Do you have only frozen cherries? You can easily use them in this recipe. They don't even need to be defrosted. Just make sure that stones have been removed!

Let me know how your cherry muffins turned out? Did you like them? And if you like to bake cakes and sweet snacks, I encourage you to try out our favourite recipes that simply can't go wrong.
