Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Using cooking spray, lightly grease the cups of a standard muffin pan that yields 12 large muffins. If making 6 oversized muffins preheat the oven to 375°F..
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, oil, egg, and almond extract until combined thoroughly.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients, then pour the liquids into the center. Mix until the dry ingredients are just combined with the wet.
- Stir in the cherries and the coconut.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin wells, filling at least 3/4 full.
- If making 12 muffins bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. If making 6 large muffins bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Bake until the tops of the muffins spring back and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then loosen the muffins with a knife and move to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store at room temperature in a closed container for up to 6 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Mix things up and swap out the cherries for a different berry for something different.
- Hemp hearts are an excellent addition to these!
