I made this recipe with dried sweet cherries I dried a few weeks ago and had frozen. I followed the recipe to a "T" except I added about 1/4 teaspoon almond extract and didn't add any nuts, only because I didn't have any on hand, otherwise I might have used slivered almonds. These muffins were SOOOOOO GOOD!! I ate one warm and it was like heaven! Thank you so much for posting.

I did these with dried blueberries and Greek yogurt substituting for the sour cream and they're scrumptious!
