One year ago if someone would have mentioned whole wheat muffins I would have thought of dry, unappetizing bricks. I couldn’t be more wrong. These plant-based are delicious.
Now that I’ve been enlightened I think of delicious treats, add in a little fruit and I think of tiny bites of heaven. I love a good whole wheat product.
Before we transitioned to a plant-based diet, my idea of muffins were closer to cupcakes. Super sweet and full of oil.
These muffins have no added fat or dairy making them a healthy choice.
Whole Wheat Cherry Muffins
These are a nice dessert, snack or as an addition to bunch. You can substitute blueberries for the cherries for variety. These are not super sweet which I know a lot of you appreciate.

Fab and healthy! They look delicious!
Love that there is no added fat!!
You don’t even miss the fat in these. My banana bread recipe is similar, you don’t realize it’s missing. I think I should call these guilt free because I don’t feel guilty about eating a couple or feeding them to my 1 year old.
i just made these and they are YUMMY. even my 3 year old loved them! yay, breakfast! moist and delish, not at all like health food store muffins. i will definitely be making these again. thank you so much for the recipe 🙂
