Steps:
- Get your oven ready to bake by preheating it to 390°F/200°C.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This step ensures that all of the dry ingredients are mixed well and you don't get any pockets of baking powder in your finished muffins.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar with oil, milk, egg, and almond extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ones: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the cherries. The muffin batter should be thick enough to hold up the fruit, I did that on purpose because we don't want the cherries falling to the bottom of the muffins.
- Divide the batter between 8 lined muffin cups so that each is ¾ of the way filled.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until done.
- Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack completely before eating or serving.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375. Line muffin tins with liners or spray with cooking spray.
- 2. Make the crumb topping: In medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Stir in butter then pinch mixture until it forms pea size chunks.
- 3. Make the muffins: In a small bowl whisk the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs and oil and beat with a hand mixer until well combined. Beat in the milk and vanilla. Add the flour mix and beat on low speed until the batter is smooth. Stir in the cherries.
- 4. Spoon the batter into muffin tins filling about 3/4 full. Sprinkle crumb topping on each muffin and bake for about 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- 5. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
Tips:
- Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries provide the best flavor and texture to the muffins. If you don't have fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries, but make sure to thaw them and drain them well before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
- Let the muffins cool before serving: This will help the muffins to set and makes them easier to handle.
