CHERRY ALMOND MUFFINS
I recently purchased a muffin and bread book at a used bookstore. Came upon this recipe and recalled the jar of maraschino cherries leftover from Easter and thought it was a tasty way of using up what I otherwise use strictly as garnish. It initially stuck me as odd to use maraschino cherries in an otherwise healthy recipe, but the results are so tender and tasty I think of this is redemption for the poor dyed and preserved fruit. What is presented here includes my changes to the original.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Lightly spray muffin tins with cooking spray. (You can also use liners but the direct contact with the pan gives the exterior a crisper exterior.)
- In a large bowl combine the flour, Splenda, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda.
- In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until they are well-frothed but not stiff. If you have meringue, you've gone to far. Add the yogurt and almond extract and beat a few more seconds.
- Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Over mixing will result in some tough puck-like muffins. Gently fold in the cherries and almonds.
- Fill muffin cups two-thirds full and bake for 18-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin should come out clean.
- Serve warm. I like mine with Brummel and Brown spread.
- Enjoy!
CHERRY ALMOND MUFFINS
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.
