1 ½cupssour or sweet cherries, pitted and coarsely chopped fresh or frozen, toss with 1 tablespoon flour before adding to muffin mixture
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line your muffin pan with liners or spray with baking spray. I used silicone muffin pans and sprayed it with olive oil spray. Set aside.
In one bowl, add flour, salt, baking powder together and mix with a whisk.
In another bowl, lightly beat egg and add in yogurt, sugar, oil or applesauce, vanilla and milk and mix until well blended.
Add dry mixture to wet mixture until just blended. (Don't over mix - you will get tough muffins!)
Toss fresh or frozen cherries with 1 tablespoon flour & 1 tablespoon sugar before adding to muffin mixture and fold about 3-4 times and then scoop muffin mixture into prepared muffin cups. Will rise 1/2 inch or more.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until tops become golden brown.
