Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dried cherries (or dried cranberries)
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut in small pieces

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour six mini loaf pans (each 5 3/4 by 3 inches, with a 2-cup capacity). Make streusel topping: In a bowl, mix streusel ingredients with fingertips until moist clumps form. Place in freezer.
Make cherry-pecan batter: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk butter, sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in dry ingredients until moistened. Fold in dried cherries and pecans.
Divide batter evenly among prepared pans; spread to fill corners. Place pans on a baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, then remove from oven, and quickly sprinkle loaves with streusel topping.
Return loaves to oven; bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool loaves 10 minutes in pans; turn out of pans, and cool completely, streusel side up, on a rack.

Tips:

For the best results, use fresh cherries. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before using and drain off any excess liquid.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
To make the streusel topping, use cold butter. This will help it stay in small pieces and create a crumbly texture.
If you don't have a mini loaf pan, you can use a regular loaf pan and just bake the loaves for a little longer.
These loaves are best served warm, but they can also be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These mini cherry pecan streusel loaves are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They're perfect for potlucks, bake sales, or just a cozy morning at home. With their sweet and tart cherries, crunchy pecans, and buttery streusel topping, these loaves are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
