Cherry Vanilla Chip Muffins

These are wheat free, dairy free, low sugar, low fat muffins and you’d never know it. Sucant is dried can juice. It can be found in health food stores. If you don’t eat them in the first two days, freeze them. Thaw in microwave for 30 seconds apiece and they will taste freshly baked.
