CHERRY MUFFINS

Makes 12 muffins

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup canned tart Cherries (drained)
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup melted margarine
• 1 cup lowfat milk

Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar


1. Place muffin paper cups in ungreased muffin tins.

2. Sift dry ingredients together in large bowl. Add cherries to dry mix and mix until well coated.

3. In a small bowl, beat eggs well. Add melted margarine and milk. Quickly stir liquid mixture into dry mix. Do not overmix, as overblending will cause a tough texture.

4. Fill muffin cups ¾ full, and sprinkle each muffin lightly with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon-sugar topping.

5. Bake at 400° F for 20 minutes until nicely browned.
