Cherry Almond Chipped Muffins

At the cafe it is important to have tasty baked goods.  Because what good is a cafe without wonderful treats?  My taste-tester loves cherry and most things that have cherry are a safe bet that he will enjoy.  When asked what kind of muffin he would enjoy, he said those cherry ones you made....  Thanks for the hint!  Since I've made a variety of cherry muffins in an effort to find a GREAT recipe.  So we tried one that I thought I had made before, with a few alterations... (it was NOT the recipe from previous although they DO taste great).  Photos to come soon...

Cherry Almond Chipped Muffins

 Makes 12 muffins

6  large eggs 

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/4 cup coconut milk

1/2 cup honey

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp almond extract

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup sifted coconut flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 cup chopped dried cherries

1/2 cup slivered almonds

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions:

Pre heat over to 400 F. 

Either: grease muffin pan with coconut oil OR line with baking cups.  (I prefer baking cups for ease of travel)

In a large bowl, combine eggs, butter, milk, honey, salt, vanilla and almond extracts

In a small bowl, whisk together coconut flour and baking soda

Blend coconut flour mixture into wet ingredients, whisking until there are no lumps.  

Stir in chopped cherries, slivered almonds and chocolate chips.

 and pour in batter.

Pop into the oven for 13 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.  Personally, I dropped the temp down 10 degrees after baking for 13 minutes and baked another 5 minutes to make them a little more golden brown.
