Only 4 grams of fat per cake - this is a peak value in the positive sense, which muffins hardly ever reach otherwise. The walnuts in the batter protect the good HDL cholesterol from oxidative damage and ensure a favourable fatty acid profile in the blood. Thanks to the preparation with wholemeal flour, even a muffin is pleasantly filling.

When the cherries are ripe in summer, you should not miss the chance to bake the muffins with plump fresh fruit. The small quantity can be freed from the stones in no time at all with a handy hand stone.
