Coconut Flour Cherry Muffins

June 14, 2013 by jessfuel 8 Comments

Coconut Flour Cherry Muffins

Since we move around so much, we’re often living in places where we don’t know anyone. Of course, as anyone in the military knows, we make fast friends. But 98% of those friends are also military vagabonds who don’t know anyone either. It’s rare to burst outside the military bubble and really bond with the locals (though it’s possible and I have definitely made some great local friends).

Now that Nick has finally made it “back home” (for those of you unaware, our current duty station is actually where he was born!), it seems like we have connections to everyone in town. Which definitely has its perks.

I texted Nick’s cousin one day asking which roadside stand was the best for buying cherries. I didn’t get an answer, but a few calls to her friends later and I had a mission. The next day I found myself driving to a cherry packing plant out in the country, with a bag of frozen halibut (caught in Alaska by family) for a little back alley bartering. After awkwardly walking into several packing areas, lost and looking for someone who knew of the trade, I finally bumped into a guy who asked, “Are you Jess? Just wait here, they’re bringing out your cherries.”

Expecting a single bag of delicious fruits, I was somewhat shocked when this is what they brought out:

Cherries

Like I said, it’s nice knowing people.

Even after giving bags to everyone and their mothers (including the lady who came to tune our piano– ha!), I still had way more cherries than I knew what to do with. I’ve basically put cherries into every single thing I’ve made for the last week.

Including these muffins.

These muffins are also made with coconut flour– something I’ve been wanting to try and finally picked up at a new Whole Foods-esque grocery store– Sprouts! The flour gave the muffins a slight (delicious) coconutty flavor and spongecake-like texture. It was definitely different, but I liked it!

    These are yummy. I substituted 1/4 coconut oil (the liquid kind) for butter, vanilla for the almond extract and they turned out amazing. Also made a batch with cut up frozen mangos. Mine cook a few more minutes than the recipe to golden brown. I really love them
