Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 12 cups of a muffin tin with parchment cupcake liners or lightly coat the muffin cups with coconut oil spray.
-
Put the frozen cherries in a food processor and process until they are broken down into smaller pieces but not all the way to mush. Measure out 3 tablespoons oats and set aside. Grind the remaining 2 cups oats to a flour in a blender.
-
Lightly beat the egg whites with a hand whisk in a large bowl. Add the ground oats, whole oats, cocoa powder, sweetener, salt, baking powder, baking soda, yogurt, water, and extracts. Stir in the cherries.
-
Spoon the batter into the muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes. Best eaten once fully cooled.
Note
Intro Continued......Get some more in your E meals! We like to split each muffin and top with just a smear of butter or coconut oil to stay in E mode, or if you are not a purist, squirt on a little fat-free Reddi-wip. You could also top with some Handy Chocolate Syrup (page 371).
