Gluten Free Cherry Muffins are fluffy and moist, with a sweet flavor and just a hint of cinnamon. Loaded with indulgent dried cherries, these are the perfect on-the-go gluten free breakfast!
In a mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in eggs, half and half, vanilla extract, and applesauce to dry ingredients. Stir until all ingredients are just combined. Don't over-mix!
Fold dried cherries into batter.
In a paper-lined muffin pan, spoon in batter evenly, filling each muffin tin almost to the top.
For the topping (optional), mix together about 2 tbsp sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over each muffin.
Bake muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
