Blueberry or Cherry Muffins

Submitted by Ducky

"These Passover muffins are great for snacking or for breakfast. They can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer. I've made the mini-muffins and was able to get 35 muffins from a batch. The mini-muffins do not rise too much while cooking. I also did not put on the topping as I made them for breakfast. This recipe is from the 'I Can't Believe It's Kosher' cookbook."

This was great. I doubled the recipe because I like really big muffins and I am always afraid we will starve on Passover [I don't know why because the opposite always occurs]. Anyway, I used frozen dark cherries and I must say these were wonderful!!! I brought them to work to share with the other members of the tribe, as well as non-members, and they were a big hit!! Thanks for a different and fantastic recipe Ducky, and for making Passover even more palatable!!!
