I am so angry right now! I have (by accident) deleted the pictures of the wonderful roast we had for lunch yesterday, as the second course, after the creamy soup! So, unless my computer whizz of a husband manages to retrieve them somehow, I'm gonna have to make it again soon (Oh, hey! Well that doesn't sound that bad!). The roast was my planned post for today, but, due to circumstances, muffins will have to do for now.
This is part 2 of my muffin adventures. This recipe was found on The Pioneer Woman, but I changed it slightly. It was originally meant to be made with blueberries, but blueberries are quite sparse and expensive here, so I used cherries. Because I didn't want the cherries to ruin the color of the muffins, I used frozen ones - clever, huh? I guess you could pretty much use any fruit you happen to have at the moment. I also omitted the nutmeg mostly because I like to keep things simple and I thought just vanilla was enough. The muffins turned out beautiful, soft and sweet, with the occasional tart cherry.
Ingredients
3 cups minus 2 tbsp flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup unflavored yogurt
2 cups cherries
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 180°C/385°F.
In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl whisk together sugar, oil, vanilla, egg, and yogurt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and fold them in gently. Add the cherries and stir (but as little as possible so that the fruit doesn't bleed into the batter). Line the muffin pans with paper cups (or butter them, if you are so inclined). Scoop the batter into the pans, sprinkle each muffin with a bit of sugar for a special crunch, and press a few cherries on top. Bake for 25 minutes.

Oh, I so commiserate. A few months ago my computer hard drive totally died with so many pictures and posts lost forever.
I am sure it was a really good picture too... so frustrating. At least it gives you the excuse to make another roast!
These muffins looks amazing. I love that they have yogurt in them. I will definitely be making these for my kids soon.
Yummmmmmmmmmmmm!
....its been such a long time since I've had yogurt muffins and yours look delish!
I hate it when I accidentally delete something. But these muffins look fantastic!
did you thaw the cherries or use them frozen?
@Patti
I used them frozen deliberately because otherwise they would bleed into the muffins and ruin the color. I'm sure the taste would still have been fine, though.
