1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a muffin tin with paper liners or generously grease each cup.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the beaten egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.
4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until they are just combined—take care not to overmix.
5. Gently stir in the chopped cherries until they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, 1/3 cup flour, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
8. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the muffin batter in each cup.
9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
