Every gal needs some chocolate in her life so I made these for my gluten free friends at Bible Study that way they could enjoy the snacks too. You would never guess that they are gluten free. I bet these would be amazing with chocolate icing but I loved them just how they where. I’m thinking about making these for my Tea with my younger girls and their friends this Sunday, so I’ll probably make a icing for them then.

Chocolate Cherry Coconut Flour Muffins

Author Katie Mae Stanley@ Nourishing Simplicity

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sucant or 1/4 cup of honey
  • 1/2 cup whole fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup cherries, quartered (frozen, fresh or canned)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 3 eggs, pastured
  • 1 TBS vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  2. Add the wet ingredients and stir until throughly mixed. If the batter is too dry add a couple table spoons of coconut milk at a time until it is wet.The batter will be thick but you don't want it dry. Coconut flour absorbs liquid like a sponge so you want to be sure to add sufficient liquid.
  3. Gently fold in the cherries.
  4. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  5. Grease your muffin tin with coconut oil or use muffin papers.
  6. Spoon the batter into the tin 2/3 of the way full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  8. You will know that the muffins are done when you poke the center of a muffin with a tooth pick or fork and it comes out clean.

 

Do you like my little friend that thought the muffin looked good?

    I found you through your guest post at Passionate Homemaking, and I am SO excited about this recipe you have no idea. I got a great deal on cherries at a farmer’s market so I pitted them and froze them, and I’ve been looking for a gluten-free chocolate cherry SOMETHING to make with them. I have almost all the ingredients, just have to get the honey. Thank you!

    Anonymous, yes, I used canned coconut milk. Thai Kitchen is my favorite. I plan on learning to make my own sometime soon. It’s much more frugal!

    Your muffins sound delicious! I love chocolate and cherries together, and the coconut flour would give a lovely flavour as well as being gluten free. Thank you for sharing this recipe with the Hearth and Soul hop.
