Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.

Prepare muffins: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and poppy seeds. In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, yogurt, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Add wet ingredient­s to dry and stir until just combined. Gently stir cherries into batter, until evenly distribute­d. Be careful not to overmix and turn the batter pink.

Divide batter between prepared muffin pans.

Make streusel: Combine flour, oats, poppy seeds and sugar in a small bowl. Add butter and work it into the dry ingredient­s with your fingertips until clumps begin to form. Top each muffin with streusel, pressing it down gently into the batter.

Bake in preheated oven 25 minutes, or until a tester inserted into center comes out clean.

Let cool in pan 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.

This creamy-smooth milkshake starts with grilled peaches.
