FOR THE STREUSEL:
3/4 cups Flour
1/3 cups Light Brown Sugar, Packed
1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 pinch Ground Cloves
1 pinch Salt
6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Sliced 1/2 Inch Thick, Softened
1/2 cups Sliced Almonds
FOR THE MUFFINS:
1-1/4 cup Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Orange Zest
1/4 teaspoons Salt
6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Softened At Room Temperature
1/4 cups Granulated Sugar
1/4 cups Light Brown Sugar, Packed
2 whole Large Eggs, At Room Temperature
1/2 cups Sour Cream At Room Temperature
1/4 cups Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste Or Extract
3/4 cups Dried Sour Cherries, Coarsely Chopped
3/4 cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Line or grease 12 muffin cups. For the streusel, mix together flour, sugar, spices and salt. Work in butter with your fingers until well incorporated. Stir in nuts. Set aside.
2
For the muffins, combine dry ingredients (flour through salt) in a large bowl. For batter, using a standing mixer or large bowl and beaters, cream together butter and sugars on medium to medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Incorporate eggs, one at time. Stir in sour cream, milk and vanilla. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients in 2 additions and mix over low speed until just combined. Do not over-mix. Stir in cherries and chocolate chips.
3
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake in center rack of oven for about 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry with a few crumbs attached, and muffins spring back when gently pressed on top. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove muffins from pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
