The season for cherries still going on here in Germany. So why not baking some more with these red little fellas? Maybe some delicious Cherry Streusel Muffins? Sounds good? They are super easy to make and go really well with a cup of coffee or tea – even on a hot summer day. So grab one, get your coffee and let’s meet on the balcony… just be careful with all the wasps outdoors. They also like these muffins a lot! ;P
There is so much you can do with cherries – fresh, frozen, or from a glass jar. They go well in cakes, you can make awesome compote with them which can then be used again or cakes, cupcakes or other desserts. So good! I love me some fresh (and still warm) cherry compote with vanilla ice cream. Damn… I immediately start drooling ;P
Well… today “just” got muffins – no compote and no ice cream. Even though a scoop of vanilla ice cream would work well with the muffins. Next time. The muffins alone are already great – awesome texture, packed with cherry flavor, and not to forget, the crunchy streusel topping. I love it. Add streusel on top and every cake and muffin is immediately nice. Don’t you think?
The muffins are really easy peasy ready in no time. If you can’t get fresh cherries anymore where you live, you can easily substitute the fresh ones with frozen cherries or cherries from a glass jar… though I have to admit that fresh cherries (and the frozen ones) are best here. So in case you want to make these muffins here on the darkest day of winter to lighten up your mood… you can do so! ;)
Fans of muffins should take a look at these recipes as well. I have quite a collection of delicious muffins (and cupcakes) here on the blog. Just check out the muffins overview page. From all of those recipes, I like these here actually the most. How about you?

3. Die Butter und den Zucker für den Teig in eine große Schüssel geben und auf höchster Stufe hell und luftig aufschlagen. Die Eier einzeln dazugeben und jeweils gut unterrühren.

Die Kirschen und Mandeln dazugeben und unterheben. Den Teig auf die Papierförmchen verteilen und dann mit den Streuseln bestreuen. Für 25-30 Minuten backen. Mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und die Muffins erst herausholen, wenn er sauber herauskommt. Aus dem Ofen holen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen.
