I made this recipe as a bread (like banana nut bread). I used bing cherries, reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 cups, added 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla. It made a very dense loaf. But it was delicious. I will be making it again very soon.

I used fresh bing cherries, and added a handful of chocolate chips : )

These are so good! I used fresh Bing cherries. I think the wetness of canned cherries may have caused the problems some of the reviewers were talking about. The fresh ones were so good in this. I used half applesauce for the butter, half whole-wheat pastry flour, and reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 cups. I also used walnuts. These are so good and my husband and I cannot stop snacking on them! Thanks for the recipe! I only wish I had thought to add some vanilla or almond extract, I think it would make them even better!

This recipe was my first t ime making muffins from scratch. I used dried tart cherries instead of the canned - I think this helped with the problem other had with them not cooking well. They cooked up fine and were quite good. My only recommendation would be to cut back on the sugar a bit - they are a little too sweet. Otherwise it was a nice and easy recipe.

While the batter is out of this world YUMMY, the finished product resembled a nuclear waste accident in a muffin wrapper. I didn't read the other reviews until after my batch came out of the oven, but obviously I wasn't the only one who had "dish"-appointment upon pulling the muffin pans out of the oven. If I end up bringing these to the gathering for which I baked them, they're being brought in a brown paper bag without a name. (And I'll probably point and laugh at them along with my friends.)

These muffins are very easy and delicious -- I even won a blue ribbon for them at the Ventura County Fair!

I had some trouble getting the muffins out of the baking dish, but they are very moist and taste great and had disappeared almost instanteneously.

These muffins really don't bake well at all. Maybe using less sugar would help. Once you get past the ugly apprearance, they taste pretty good. But I've definately made better and I won't be making these again.
