Ingredients

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 large egg
3/4 cup Vanilla Greek yogurt
1/2 cup sugar of choice ()
1/2 cup ½ cup canola oil (or oil of choice, for lower calories, use 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce)
1/3 cup milk of choice
2 - 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sour or sweet cherries, pitted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

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.

CHERRY YOGURT

Cherry Yogurt image

Serve wholesome granola over this thick, rich yogurt for a quick breakfast. Or layer it in a parfait glass with granola and fruit for something special. It will keep in the refrigerator for the week. Look for 100% cherry juice at the store, since the cocktail blends have added sugar. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen
