Instructions

In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry mixture until all the ingredients are incorporated.
In a medium size bowl, mix eggs, sugar, butter, milk, and sour cream together.
Mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Then gently fold in white chocolate chips, chopped pecans and chopped cherries.
To make the streusel, combine butter, flour, sugar, brown sugar, and salt.
Using an ice cream scoop or 1/4 measuring cup, scoop batter into a prepared muffin tin (you can grease the pan or add liners). Add streusel to the top of each muffin. Place half a pecan on top.
Bake on 350ºF for 20-25 minutes. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea.

Notes

If you can’t find fresh cherries, you can use frozen. You may need to cook them for 5-10 minutes longer to because there will likely be more moisture in the batter.
