How to Make Sour Cherry Muffins With Almond Crumble

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  3. **Make the crumble topping:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup slivered almonds.
  5. Cover and refrigerate the crumble topping until ready to use.
  6. **Make the muffins:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  7. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 cup plain yogurt (substitute for sour cream), 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon almond extract until well combined.
  8. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in 2 cups fresh or frozen sour cherries (if frozen, do not thaw).
  9. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  10. Sprinkle the chilled crumble topping evenly over the muffin batter.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  12. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
