Author: Drizzle

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup apple sauce
  • 3/4 cup milk *I used skim
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 19 maraschino cherries chopped into small pieces *tip- freeze them a little for easy chopping
  • Pink food coloring

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and fill a regular 12 hole muffin tin with paper liners. Parchment paper liners work well and will help prevent sticking.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs then stir in apple sauce, skim milk, and vanilla.
  • Mix in the all purpose flour and baking powder. Fold in the pink food coloring. Depending on what brand you are using, just add a few drops while mixing the batter until you get a pink color.
  • Cut the cherries into small pieces - you should get at least 6-8 little pieces.
  • Gently fold the chopped cherries into the muffin batter, then divide the batter over the 12 muffin cups.
  • Bake for approx 20 minutes, or until the muffins are baked through.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
