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.
