I’ve made muffins before that were good, but nothing like this! These Blueberry Cherry Muffins with Streusel Topping were made with fresh blueberries and cherries and made with Greek Yogurt. I wanted to know if it was just a fluke that I had made the perfect dozen muffins that everyone enjoyed, so I made them a second (and then third and fourth) time with the exact same perfect result! Because of the cherries and Greek Yogurt they are not overly sweet, but the Streusel Topping adds a little kick of sweetness as you bite down into these moist, fruity muffins! Yummmmmmm!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup blueberries (fresh, cleaned)
1/2 tablespoon lemon zest
3/4 cup cherries (fresh, pitted and cut in halves)
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt
1 egg
1 pinch of salt
4 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sanding sugar
2 tablespoon sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 and line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners. In a bowl (I didn’t even use a stand mixer for this!) microwave the butter for 30 seconds so that it is nice and soft or almost melted. Add the sugar and combine until it is almost creamy looking. Add the egg and stir until it is incorporated. Next add the lemon zest and stir. Next add all the dry ingredients and mix, but don’t over mix (as soon as it looks combined stop stirring). Add the berries, stir a few times, and then spoon into lined muffin cups (the batter should fill to the top all the muffin cups (they don’t rise too much so it is ok). In a small bowl add 1 Tbs of butter for the topping and melt it in the microwave, then add the sugar and flour and lastly the sanding sugar. Evenly distribute a pinch of the topping onto all of the muffins, and then bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is slightly golden brown. Remove from oven, let sit for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and when cooled down, enjoy!
