Ingredients
1/3 cup wholewheat flour1/4 cup agave nectar1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder1/4 tsp baking powder1/4 tsp salt6 oz/170g fat free vanilla yoghurt3 egg whites1/2 tsp almond extract7oz/220g unsweetened, canned, chopped cherries
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease or line 6 or 12 cups of a muffin tin.
2. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in medium bowl and mix well, then stir in the yogurt, agave nectar and almond extract.
3. Beat egg whites in small bowl with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites into batter until just blended.
4. Gently fold in the cherries and divide the batter evenly between the 6 or 12 muffin cups.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until tops are puffy and edges are set – the centers will still be slightly “moist” when you remove them from the oven, but they will firm up while cooling.
6. For the cupcakes, you may wish to add some frosting (not included in calorie count)
