Cherry muffins




These palm sized cherry muffins were baked for hubby’s pre-run snacks. I added toasted pumpkin seeds for crunch but if you prefer something crunchy and delicate, almond slivers will be the one.

Easy to make and almost fail proof, it takes just under 30 minutes to prepare, baking time not considered. Just right when I am hard pressed for time.
