Ingredients

  • cup all-purpose flour

  • cup whole wheat flour

  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons regular rolled oats

  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

  • ¼ cup almond butter or peanut butter

  • ¼ cup canola oil

  • ½ cup dried tart red cherries, chopped

  • cup chopped bittersweet chocolate

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and/or flax seeds

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with paper bake cups. In a large bowl stir together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, 3/4 cup of the oats, the brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In another bowl whisk together eggs, yogurt, almond butter, and oil. Add yogurt mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. Fold in cherries and chocolate.

  2. Spoon batter into muffin cups. In a small bowl stir together remaining 2 tablespoons oats and the seeds. Sprinkle oat mixture over batter.

  3. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack 5 minutes. Serve warm. Makes 12 muffins.

Tips

Place cooled muffins in an airtight container. Cover and store at room temperature for 3 days. Or, freeze up to 3 months. To reheat, remove bake cups if silver or gold. Wrap a frozen muffin in paper towels. Microwave on 50% power (medium) for 1 minute or until warmed through.
