Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup Vanilla Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup sugar of choice
  • ½ cup canola oil or oil of choice, for lower calories, use 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • cup milk of choice
  • 2 - 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups sour 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.
  • Recipe makes 12-14 regular muffins.
