Ingredients
Scale
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 cups fresh pitted cherries, chopped
Brown Sugar Streusel
2 tbsp butter, melted
4 tbsp flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
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.
