Directions
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 , Great combo of flavors! I love cherries and almonds! I halved the recipe to get 6 muffins used all white sugar and 2 large egg whites I did add in 1 T cherry juice since the batter was a bit thick and that made the batter perfect Next time I will chop the cherries smaller and mix in the almonds (I only put them on top as decoration) I have made a lot of muffins with wheat flour and while this one was dense, it happened to be the least dense of many recipes I have tried, maybe the extra egg white helped Great recipe!
