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. You can also use frozen sweet cherries in place of fresh, which are usually pitted. Ingredients:
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 |
Directions:
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin cases or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2. 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.
3. Add the liquid ingredients and mix quickly (don't worry if the mix is lumpy), add the cherries and mix.
4. Divide between the muffin cases, top with the remaining 1/3 cup slivered almonds and bake for 20 minutes or until risen and golden.
