Cherry Crumb Muffins

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line 14 muffin cups with paper liners and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until they're light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, and beat well. Stir in the milk, and vanilla extract, mixing only until smooth.

Step 5

Wash and dry cherries on a dish towel or paper towels. Pit and roughly chop. In a bowl, toss cherries with about 1 Tablespoon of flour. Gently fold 1½ cups of the cherries into the batter. Reserve the remaining ½ cup for adding on top later.

Step 6

Fill the muffin cups ¾ to almost full, using all of the batter. Divide remaining cherries between muffin cups pressing gently into the batter.

Step 7

In a bowl combine ingredients for the crumble topping; flour, sugar, melted butter and cinnamon and mix together with a fork. Divide between the muffin cups piling the crumble on top of each muffin. Don't worry if it looks too full.

Step 8

Bake the muffins for 25 to 30 minutes, until they're very light golden brown. Note: Check after 25 minutes and bake longer if needed. Muffins will be done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Cool muffins on in the pan on a cooling rack just until they are cool enough to handle and remove.

Step 10

Cool completely before adding the glaze.

Step 11

In a bowl whisk together confectioners sugar, vanilla and 1 teaspoon of milk at a time until the consistency is able to be drizzled. Drizzle over muffins, and enjoy!
