Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why rinse the cherries?

Rinsing removes excess syrup that could make muffins too wet. Tossing in flour helps them stay distributed in batter.

→ Can I use fresh cherries?

Fresh pitted cherries work well. Cook briefly with sugar to soften before using. Frozen cherries should be thawed and drained.

→ How do I store these muffins?

Store in airtight container at room temperature 3 days. Freeze up to 3 months, thaw overnight.

→ Why is my streusel topping melting?

Cold butter is essential for crumbly streusel. If butter gets too warm, chill mixture before sprinkling on muffins.

→ Can I make these ahead?

Prepare batter and streusel night before, store separately in fridge. Let batter reach room temp before baking.
