Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk (or whole milk, if preferred)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen cherries (pitted and halved)
- 0.5 cup Pecans (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (for streusel topping)
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (ground, for streusel topping)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, for streusel topping)
- 0.25 cup Pecans (chopped, for streusel topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease six mini loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the cherries and chopped pecans using a spatula.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini loaf pans, filling each about 2/3 full.
To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cold butter in a small bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped pecans for the streusel topping.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in each loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the mini cherry pecan streusel loaves as a delightful breakfast treat or dessert!
