2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
Gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined; then fold in cherries.
For the streusel topping, mix brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon; cut in softened butter until crumbly.
Fill muffin cups about three-quarters full with batter and top generously with streusel.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Let cool in the pan for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
