I’ve made muffins before that were good, but nothing like this!
These Blueberry Cherry Muffins with Streusel Topping are made with fresh blueberries and cherries (remember how I have 30 lbs of Door County Cherries to go through 🙂 ) and made with Greek Yogurt.
I wanted to know if it was just a fluke that I had made the perfect dozen muffins that everyone enjoyed, so I made them a second (and then third and fourth) time with the exact same perfect result!
Because of the cherries and Greek Yogurt they are not overly sweet, but the Streusel Topping adds a little kick of sweetness as you bite down into these moist, fruity muffins! Yummmmmmm!Â

Will these work with frozen berries?
Sweetphi says
Yes, I think so, I’d just recommend making sure there’s no extra liquid
Maria says
Great muffins. Had 10 lbs of cherries to put to good use. Thankfully I came across this yummy recipe. I did add the juice from the lemon for an extra tang and would do that again.

I’m so glad you liked the recipe, and thank you for sharing how you made the muffins, I always love hearing how people make recipes work for them 🙂

The recipe plug-in from January doesn’t seem to be working, it still doesn’t include the step to include the yogurt. When you correct that, would you also change the ingredients to list them in the order they’re used? I think that’s a fairly standard practice with recipes, but since you have the step of “add all other dry ingredients” it would be helpful to have them listed together.
Otherwise, my family loves this recipe, I’ve made it twice this month already!
Kathy says
To clarify – the actual blog post doesn’t have everything listed correctly, but if you go to print it, it appears to be as it should.

Hi Kathy,
Thank you so much for your very helpful and sweet comment. I’m so glad that your family loves these…testament to you having made them TWICE! That’s AWESOME!!!
I don’t know why the recipe widget wasn’t working, I’ve fixed it and for some reason it has been finicky. I deleted it and redid the recipe so it should be good now!
Thanks again for your helpful comments!

Just a note: you don’t mention when to put the greek yogurt in your method. I was following it step by step and when i put the muffins in the oven, I realized that I hadn’t put the greek yogurt in. Hopefully it turns out ok :/

Hi Alice,
Thank you so much for your comment…I’m so sorry that all the ingredients and directions weren’t showing up properly! This happened once before and I have no idea why it happens every once in a while (the greek yogurt goes in after the egg 🙂 ) I updated the recipe plug-in and broke it up into more steps, so hopefully that should fix the problem (that’s what worked last time).
Thanks again for your comment, hopefully this issue is all resolved now, and I hope the muffins still turned out ok – they may have been a little dry – but maybe they were ok because of the moisture in the fruit, depending on what fruit you used!
