How to Make Cobbler Muffins
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon more
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup of salted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 2 tablespoons of peach juice (for peach muffins)
- 2 (15-ounce) cans of peaches in juice (for peach muffins)
- 1 (21-ounce) can of cherry pie filling, divided in half (for cherry muffins)
- 3/4 cup of milk (for cherry muffins)
- 1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries, divided (for blueberry muffins)
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter (for blueberry muffins)
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda (for blueberry muffins)
- 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract (for blueberry muffins)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin pan to prevent sticking.
- For peach muffins: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, salt, baking powder, eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and peach juice. Fold in the peaches gently. Fill the muffin cups with this mixture and sprinkle some streusel topping (made from cold butter, flour, and sugar) on top before baking.
- For cherry muffins: In another bowl, follow the same process but use cherry pie filling instead of peaches.
- For blueberry muffins: Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, then combine with the wet ingredients in another. Fold in the blueberries last.
- Bake the muffins for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool before serving.
