- 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.
