- 2 cups self-rising flour *see recipe notes
- ½ cup Truvia brown sugar blend
- ½ cup Swerve brown sugar replacement
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup cherry unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 tsp marachino cherry juice/syrup
- ½ cup fresh or frozen dark sweet cherries, pitted *see recipe notes
- ⅓ cup Lily's semi-sweet chocolate baking chips (about 60g)
- 2 tbsp Land O Lakes Light Butter with Canola Oil, melted
Preheat oven to 350° and spray 9x5 loaf pan with the cooking spray of your choice. I use Pam Baking spray.
In a small bowl, measure out the flour and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale yellow. Then mix in the applesauce, yogurt, vanilla and almond extracts, and maraschino cherry juice. Stir until well blended.
Add the flour to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
Gently fold in butter, cherries, and, chocolate chips. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 60-75 minutes until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
