Ingredients

Wet ingredients

• 1 medium apple (180g)
• 2/3 cup Date Paste
• 1 cup vegetable milk
• 3 flax eggs (1 flax egg = 1 tbsp ground flax seeds (7g)+ 3 tbsp water)
• 1/2 cup EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

Dry ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup whole wheat/spelt flour
• 1/2 cup cacao powder
• 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp baking powder (16g)
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 60g cherries

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
2. Cook apples: Peel them, cut in 0.5cm pieces and cook them in hot water or in the microwave (5 minutes) until soft.
3. Mix wet ingredients: Cooked apples and Date Paste - you can follow our recipe Healthy Sweetener Date Paste, milk (we use soy), oil and flax eggs. You can also blend them until smooth.
4. Mix dry ingredients: Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
5. Mix wet and dry ingredients and add cut cherries into pieces.
6. Transfer the batter to a greased muffin pan and bake it 180°C for 25 minutes. Let cool before removing the muffins from the pan.

Notes

TIP: You can make our Healthy Frosting adding 1 tbsp of cacao powder to make a chocolate frosting.

You can add more cherries but keep in mind that the texture of the muffins would change because the fruit moistens the batter.
