Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
1 Cup All Purpose Flour
1/3 Cup Cocoa Powder
¾ Tsp Baking Soda
¼ Tsp Kosher Salt
1/8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
½ Cup Chocolate Chips
Wet Ingredients:
¼ Cup + 6 Tbsp Crofter’s Organic Premium Morello Cherry Fruit Spread (Divided)
2 Large Eggs
½ Cup Oat Yogurt
½ Cup Honey
1/3 Cup Almond Milk
¼ Cup Olive Oil
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325 °F and lightly coat a muffin tray with non-stick baking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients using a whisk and then add in the chocolate chips. Stir until combined and set aside.
- In another medium sized mixing bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients with the ¼ cup Crofter’s Organic Premium Morello Cherry Fruit Spread. Whisk to combine until smooth. Add the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients and then bring together using a spatula. Careful not to over mix.
- Fill the prepared muffin pan about 2/3 of the way full with the muffin batter and add a dollop on of the remaining Crofter’s Organic Premium Morello Cherry Fruit Spread on to the top of each muffin (about ½ tbsp per muffin). Swirl the fruit spread in with a skewer or a small knife. Repeat for all 12 muffins.
- Place muffins in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Once done, remove from oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from the tray. Serve and enjoy!
