Cherry-Oatmeal Muffins image

I didn't see anything at all like this on Zaar, so I had to share. These low-fat treats from About.com look like they're sure to please! They say fresh Bing cherries work best, but frozen can be used, too. Use soymilk soured with 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar to make this dairy-free.
