Ingredients

  • ¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ¼ cup nonfat (skim) milk
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil (or other neutral oil, such as canola)
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 6 tablespoons Montmorency tart cherries divided
  • cooking spray
  • maple syrup for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Pour in the milk, oil and syrup. Whisk to combine.
  3. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Whisk to combine, until most of the lumps are gone. Some lumps are okay.
  4. Lightly coat a mug or small coffee cup with cooking spray. Scoop ⅓ cup of the batter into the mug. Stir 1 tablespoon (except reserve a few cherries) into the batter in the mug. Lightly press the reserved cherries (3-4) onto the top of the batter.
  5. Microwave for 45 to 60 seconds, or until the batter is set. (My microwave is 1200W and it took 55 seconds).
  6. Drizzle with maple syrup. Serve.
