Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the muffin tin
- 3/4 cup frozen pitted cherries, thawed, halved and well drained
- 3 very ripe bananas
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Line a plate with 2 layers of paper towels and place the cherries on top to dry briefly.
- Put the bananas in a large bowl and mash them very thoroughly with a fork. Add the vanilla and mix and mash to combine. Add the eggs and whisk until well beaten.
- Divide the cherries evenly among the muffin cups, then pour in the banana custard (each cup will be about three-quarters full). Bake until the muffins are domed and set, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Run a thin knife around the edge of each muffin and remove with a small offset spatula. Cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if using and serve.

Hi. I made these this morning. I added an extra egg yoke and a slash of milk. I used blueberries with a bit of lemon zest. I added a sprinkle of nut meg and 1/4 tablespoons of cinnamon. After mashing the bananas I mixed everything in my stand mixer on medium for just over a minute.
I think they came out great. I am on a weight loss journey and was looking for something different to make. These worked. I served it with a dollop of 0% vanilla Greek yogurt.

Delicious! And zero points on weight watchers without the powdered sugar.
This was not only a very quick and easy recipe, but it was delicious as well! It is a wonderful brunch dish for anyone looking for a quick and easy recipe!
Thank you Valerie
Thank you Valerie
Not really a fan. I love Valerie and the idea is great for making bites in advance, but the texture is just off for me. I’ve made them a few times now and am not won over by the texture. Pass.
Very tasty and no added sugar.
can these be frozen when cooked
I love this. It is amazing!! I like how it is not super sweet and does not have gluten. Which I can’t have. I made it today for the first time and I ate half of the whole batch. I want to try it with other fruits like raspberries or cranberries for some more variety. So so good!
Great warm
Not so yummy cold

Oh my these are tasty! Wasn’t sure what to expect but simple enough for me to try and I was not disappointed.
