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.

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup Splenda granular, sugar substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1/2 cup margarine
6 ounces fat free Greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2/3 cup slivered almonds, divided
2 cups sweet cherries, pitted

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin cases or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • 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.

These muffins were a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I might try using a different type of flour next time.

I found these muffins to be a bit dry. I think I might try adding a little more butter or oil next time.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.
