Sweet, Secret Cherries!

A quickie for today, I think, with something so simple that you can whip it up right now and chances are you won't even have to make a trip to the store! This was something I came up with on a whim while trying to think of a recipe for a family tea-time gathering while using up waning fridge and pantry goods. The secret for these sweet (but diabetic-friendly, for Cel) mocha-cherry muffins is in the everyday, basic pantry staple that is the base ingredient! Who would have thought, good ol' Aunt Jemima can whip out more than fluffy pancakes!

Serves 6
1 cup buttermilk pancake mix (not complete)
3 tbsp Splenda (or sugar)
