    The texture of this sour cherry crumble muffin recipe is firm, but light.  The oat topping is perfectly crunchy, but not too sweet - similar to a cherry cobbler.  If you have fresh, tart cherries in season, these muffins are the perfect thing to make, they're oh, so tasty.

      Wow, we've made this 3 times in the last week & it is so good, my girls just love them!
      I did cut down the sugar to 3/4 cup & it is perfect. We have 2 sour cherry trees & I'm definitely freezing some to make these muffins again.

      Thanks for a recipe that uses lots of cherries. I even added an extra handful. Made as is, they are like cherry cupcakes 🙂 Since I like my muffins a little less cake-like, I made the following modifications: use 1 cup white and 1 cup whole wheat flour, cut sugar in batter down to 1/2 cup, and use only 1 egg. Also, instead of buttermilk, I just add 1 tsp of lemon juice to cows milk (or 1 Tbsp if using almond milk). Lemon goes nicely with cherry too. Am making them for the second time this week.

      Delicious! Followed the recipe exactly and they are amazing! I could have folded the cherries a bit more evenly. Some muffins had a few and some had solid cherries lol but delicious regardless!

      I made these last night and they are delicious! I added the zest of 1 lemon and 1 tsp of lemon juice and Im so happy with them. Great texture, very light, and the edges turned out slightly crispy which was perfect!
