Gluten-Free Cherry Cobbler Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gluten-Free Cherry Cobbler Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C). While it warms up, line 24 muffin cups with cheerful paper liners, ready to catch all that deliciousness.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, and baking powder. Give it a good whisk to blend everything together.

3. Step 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, beaten egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined. This mixture is where the magic begins!

4. Step 4

   Make a well in the center of your flour mixture and pour in the milk mixture. Stir gently until the batter is just blended and slightly lumpy—don’t overmix! Now, fold in those beautiful chopped cherries along with any juice that’s come from them. This is what makes your muffins so juicy and flavorful.

5. Step 5

   Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full. This allows room for them to rise and become fluffy.

6. Step 6

   For a delightful topping, mix together some oats, brown sugar, and a bit of butter in a bowl until crumbly. Sprinkle this oat mixture generously over the muffin batter, adding a crunchy texture that contrasts beautifully with the soft muffins.

7. Step 7

   Now, it’s time to bake! Place your muffin tray in the preheated oven and let them bake for about 20 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma will be irresistible!

8. Step 8

   Once baked, let the muffins cool slightly before enjoying them warm. They’re perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert!
