Happy 4th of July my gluten free friends! My cherry tree has blessed me with an abundance of gorgeous, sweet fruit this summer. I decided to use some of my harvest to make these two beautiful cherry muffin recipes for the 4th of July holiday. I am confident that these recipes will also please the cherry lovers in your family, anytime of year!
Cherry Banana Walnut Muffins - Gluten Free
2 1/2 cups Pamela's Wheat Free Baking and Pancake Mix
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted & chopped
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients (except cherries) together. Carefully fold in cherries until just evenly distributed. Spoon into muffin pan lined with paper baking cups, until nearly full. Bake on center rack of oven for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Yield: 12 muffins.
Enjoy!

If I had to choose, I'd go for the chocolate version...I love cherries and chocolate! I love the patriotic cupcake papers, too. What a great way to celebrate Independence Day.
