Hi Sandi, so glad everyone enjoyed the muffins, I have a few more tricks up my sleeve for flavor combinations ๐
I made these yesterday and really enjoyed them – thank you for sharing the recipe! ๐
Your very welcome, glad you enjoyed them ๐
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!
Haha! Well big muffins sound good in my books ๐
Hi! I made these last night and they were AMAZING! I look forward to trying your other 2 point muffin recipes as well! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Hi, so glad you enjoyed them and hope you enjoy the others ๐
Hey Kate! Quick question – do you thaw the cherries first or just put them in frozen?
Thanks!
Hi Kerry, I put them in frozen ๐
These are delicious! They are also excellent with frozen peaches instead of cherries.
Oh yum I love the peaches addition ๐ glad you enjoy them
Did u still out in the cocoa powder and would u use peach yogurt
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 ๐
0% cherry flavored greek yogurt is what the recipe calls for. Does this mean Fat Free?
Yes, 0% is non fat
