Rich cherry flavor, but low-carb? It seems like a contradiction in terms, but it’s true! How do we do it? We only use a quarter cup of cherries for the entire recipe, but cut each cherry into teeny pieces, so that each muffin gets its share of the good stuff. In addition, we add almonds and a bit of almond extract to the recipe. Almonds and cherries have flavors that work synergistically and make everything more cherry-like. Maybe it’s because they are in the same family, but whatever it is, the two flavors hold hands and take your tastebuds in the same direction.

These Low-Carb Almond Cherry Muffins, not only have deep cherry flavor, but also have a moist, tender texture that melts in your mouth. Jewels of cherry bedazzle these muffins and sliced almonds garnish the top. The result is a beautiful and tasty muffin.

Try these Low-Carb Almond Cherry Muffins for breakfast or enjoy with a cup of tea for a lovely afternoon pick-me-up. They are perfect to pop in a lunchbox and make a great grab-n-go treat. Enjoy!
