Shoot! I just made these and doubled the recipe and then forgot to make twice the amount of muffins! They are HUGE and probably 5 points, but they look great!
Drizzle
Haha! Well big muffins sound good in my books 🙂

Hey Kate! Quick question - do you thaw the cherries first or just put them in frozen?
Thanks!
Drizzle
Hi Kerry, I put them in frozen 🙂
Katherine
These are delicious! They are also excellent with frozen peaches instead of cherries.
Drizzle
Oh yum I love the peaches addition 🙂 glad you enjoy them
Marlene
Did u still out in the cocoa powder and would u use peach yogurt
emily
these were so good. really hit the spot. i think next time i'll cut the cherries into 4 pieces so they're a little more spread out. but YAY for these!

Hi Emily, so glad you enjoyed them 🙂

0% cherry flavored greek yogurt is what the recipe calls for. Does this mean Fat Free?
Drizzle
Yes, 0% is non fat
