Cherry Almond Muffins image

Alon's Bakery in Atlanta has the most delicious cherry muffins with slivered almonds on top, and this is the closest recipe I've found to make at home. This comes from the BBC's Good Food website, but I adapted it to be lighter. You can also use frozen sweet cherries in place of fresh, which are usually pitted.

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup Splenda granular, sugar substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • Mix the sugar, Splenda, vanilla, egg, butter and yogurt together. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and add half of the slivered almonds.
  • Add the liquid ingredients and mix quickly (don't worry if the mix is lumpy), add the cherries and mix.
  • Divide between the muffin cases, top with the remaining 1/3 cup slivered almonds and bake for 20 minutes or until risen and golden.
