Ingredients

  • ¼ cup fresh cherries chopped
  • ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon fine himalayan salt
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup full fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla powder
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Mix together the coconut flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs then mix in the coconut milk, coconut oil, honey and vanilla.
  • Mix the wet and dry ingredients together to form a batter. Fold in the cherries, dark chocolate and sliced almonds (batter will be thick).
  • Fill muffin cups with the batter to the top. I use a silicon muffin pan, but you can use any regular pan and paper liners if you like.
  • Bake muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes. Set pan on a wire rack to cool.

Notes

Store muffins in the fridge.
Use frozen cherries if you prefer, but be sure to thaw them first and remove the excess moisture.
