CHERRY PEANUT BUTTER MUFFINS
TREATS FROM RETREATSIngredients:
1 and 2/3 cup flour
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup of honey or 2/3 cups of sugar of your choice
1 and 1/4 cup of milk ( I used almond milk)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
4 tablespoons of peanut butter
pinch of sea salt
Beat together 2 eggs, sugar and vanilla. Add milk, oil and peanut butter, keep mixing until you get a smooth cream. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt and fold into the mixture until well combined.
Spoon the mixture into 12-14 muffin cups, add 2-3 cherries (remove a pit beforehand) on top of each muffin, press it in with a finger.
Bake for 18-20 minutes in a preheated oven (180C), let them cool and enjoy! They taste the best next morning when the flavours blend together.
