Ingredients

  • 1 (10 oz) jar of CherryMan Maraschino Cherries, drained
  • 1 c whole wheat flour

  • 1 tbs. chia seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease or line a mini muffin tin.
  • Slice 12 cherries into quarters (these will be placed on top of each muffin), and chop remaining cherries. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk to combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • In a small bowl, whisk eggs, yogurt, sugar, oil, and orange juice/zest until thoroughly combined. Pour into dry mixture and stir just until blended. Gently fold in the chopped cherries and the chia seeds.
