Step-by-Step Cooking Process
1. Prepare the Muffin Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk (or buttermilk), and vanilla extract. Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
2. Add the Cherries
Gently fold in the cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed. If using frozen cherries, do not thaw them beforehand to prevent excess moisture.
3. Make the Cobbler Topping
In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and melted butter until a crumbly texture forms. This will give the muffins their signature cobbler-like topping.
4. Fill the Muffin Cups
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well. Fill each cup about ¾ full with batter, then sprinkle the cobbler topping over each muffin.
5. Bake to Perfection
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool slightly before enjoying.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Tips and Variations
- Use different fruits – Swap cherries for blueberries, raspberries, or peaches for a new twist.
