Servings 5
Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- 1 - 1 1/2 dl Granulated sweetener (sugar free)
- 1/2 dl Apple sauce
- 1/2 dl Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Milk (I used oat milk)
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil melted
- 1 1/2 dl Oat flour
- 1/2 dl Corn flour
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom
- 1/3 tsp Baking soda
- 1/3 tsp Baking powder
- 1/3 tsp Salt
- 1 dl Cherries pitted cut into smaller pieces
- 1/2 dl Chocolate chips (sugar free)
For the topping (optional)
- 1/2 dl Cream cheese
- 1/4 dl Greek yogurt
- 1/2-1 tbsp Sweetener
- 1/4 tsp Lemon juice
- 5 Cherries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees celsius.
- Combine oat flour, corn flour, cardamom, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Whisk the egg and sugar together until slightly fluffy and the mixture has turned a little pale in a separate bowl.
- Add apple sauce, greek yogurt and coconut oil and whisk until incorporated.
- Little by little add the dry ingredients to the wet, stir in between. Do not stir too long, just until you have a smooth batter.
- Fold in cherry pieces and chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter between five muffin tins. Bake in the oven for 18-21 minutes, until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- Take out and let the muffins cool completely.
- Whisk together cream cheese, greek yogurt, sweetener and lemon juicy until it becomes fluffy. Place in the fridge until ready to serve. (The topping is optional)
- Top the muffins using a piping tool or just spread it over the muffins using a spoon as I did. Top each muffin with a cherry.
