This post is sponsored by Blue Diamond Almonds. It is Wednesday, right? My week is all messed up because of the holiday. I am having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. It still feels like Monday. But, hey, hey it’s Wednesday! That is great news! We are half way through the week! YAY! And it is JUNE! Crazy! I am ready for another weekend so I can make Cherry Almond Streusel Muffins. I love baking up something special on the weekends and these muffins are VERY special!
My boys love muffins so I usually bake up a batch every weekend. I am always creating new muffin recipes so the boys don’t get bored…and so I can play around in the kitchen:)
This beautiful bowl of cherries was my inspiration for these muffins! I snacked on a few, but decided they belonged in muffins.
I love cherry and almonds together so I chopped up Blue Diamond Whole Natural Almonds to mix into the muffins. I also used almond extract and created a killer almond streusel topping.
I was going to stop there, but Caleb asked if I could make a frosting for the muffins. I told him muffins don’t typically have frosting and he got the biggest frown on his face so I told him I would whisk up a special almond glaze. He was all smiles!
The almond glaze was the perfect finishing touch! Caleb is a smart boy:)
The muffins are soft, tender, with juicy cherries and almonds on the inside. The almond streusel topping and almond glaze take the muffins from good to GREAT. These are the kind of muffins you will dream about for days. Pick up some fresh cherries and make Cherry Almond Streusel Muffins this weekend. We are almost there! And if you can’t wait until the weekend, you can make them right now. I don’t know if I can wait either:)
