CHERRY CRUMB MUFFINS
A hit at every brunch table.
Makes 12 muffins
Approximate preparation time: 15 minutes plus
20 minutes for baking
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat one 12-cup muffin pan with
nonstick cooking spray.
Insert the small chopping blade into the small work
bowl of the Cuisinart
®
Food Processor. Put the nuts for
the crumb topping recipe into the small work bowl and
pulse to roughly chop. Add remaining crumb topping
ingredients and pulse to achieve a crumb-like mixture,
about 5 to 6 pulses. Remove work bowl and reserve.
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large work
bowl of the Cuisinart
®
Food Processor. Process the flour,
baking soda, salt and cinnamon for 10 seconds to sift.
Remove and reserve.
Add the sugars and buttermilk to the work bowl and
process together for about 5 seconds to combine.
Stir together the oil, egg and vanilla in a liquid measuring
cup. With the machine running, pour the liquid
ingredients through the small feed tube and process until
combined. Evenly add the dry ingredients and process
for about 4 to 5 seconds. Scrape the work bowl and add
the dried cherries, pulse 2 to 3 times to combine.
Scoop muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin
pan. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly on the tops of
each muffin. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until a cake
tester comes out clean.
