French Cherry Yogurt Tea Bread

There are a few weird things about this recipe, but I love it anyway. First of all, most of the recipes that are similar to this are called “bread”, but it’s really more like cake. Secondly, it’s called “tea” bread, but there’s no tea in it. (Yes, I know it’s because you’re suppose to have it at tea time.) And thirdly, it’s called “French” but the first ingredient is Greek yogurt. So there ya go. It makes no sense, but it’s pretty darn good. This recipe would make great muffins.

I look forward to using this recipe as a base and pairing different yogurt and citrus flavors. Vanilla and orange. Coconut and lime. Blueberry and lemon. Honey and lemon. There are so many great Greek yogurt flavors out there, the possibilities are endless!
