Can I use frozen cherries instead of fresh?

Absolutely! While fresh cherries are ideal, frozen cherries can work in a pinch. Just make sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in your batter.

How do I store leftover muffins?

Store your Fresh Cherry Muffins with Streusel in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them for up to three months!

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

While it’s best to bake the muffins fresh, you can prepare the dry ingredients in advance. Just mix them together and store them in an airtight container. When you’re ready to bake, combine with the wet ingredients!

What can I substitute for eggs in this recipe?

If you’re looking for an egg substitute, try using flax eggs. Mix one tablespoon of ground flaxseed with three tablespoons of water for each egg. Let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens!

Can I add other fruits to the muffins?

Definitely! Feel free to mix in other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a delightful twist. Just keep the total fruit amount similar to the cherries for the best texture.
