Cherry Almond Muffins or Coffee Cake image

I'm not sure where I originally got this recipe but I just recently tried it myself. Since the batter is more like a dough, I found it incredibly hard to layer in the muffin tins as described. Next time I'm going to use my springform pan and make a layered coffeecake instead and bake it for about 50 minutes.

Time 1h

Yield 7 jumbo muffins or 14 regular

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar, plus
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, cold
1 egg
3/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, cold
1/3 cup almonds, sliced, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup cherry preserves, warmed

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Beat the egg, sour cream and extract until smooth; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened (batter will be thick).
  • Combine flour and sugar in a small bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in almonds: set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, egg, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  • Fill greased jumbo muffin cups half full with batter.
  • Divide cream cheese filling and preserves evenly between muffin cups; swirl gently. Cover with remaining batter. Sprinkle with topping.
  • Bake at 350 F for 30-35 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
  • Editor's Note: If using regular-size muffin cups, bake for 20-25 minutes.

These muffins are delicious! I love the streusel topping and the hint of almond extract.

I used frozen cherries and they worked just as well as fresh cherries. This is a great recipe to use up leftover cherries.

The muffins were good, but the streusel topping was a bit too dry. I think I'll add a little more butter next time.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of almonds, so I used chopped walnuts instead. They were still delicious.

I substituted almond flour for regular flour and they still turned out great! Delicious and gluten-free.

I followed the recipe exactly and the muffins turned out dry and crumbly. Not sure what went wrong.

These muffins were a hit at my brunch party! They were light and fluffy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness from the cherries and almonds. I'll definitely be making them again.
