Instructions

  • Preheat: Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Make Crumble: In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cold butter. Use your fingers to work the mixture into coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  • Mix Dry: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together.
  • Mix Wet: In a large bowl, whisk egg and sugar until combined. Add melted butter, oil, vanilla, whipping cream, lemon juice, and vinegar. Whisk until smooth.
  • Combine: Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Add Mix-Ins: Fold in chocolate chips and cherries gently.
  • Fill Cups: Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle crumble topping over each muffin.
  • Bake: Bake for 22-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.

 

  • Cool: Let muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
