Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup turbinado (raw) sugar
- ½ cup coconut oil, at room temperature
- ½ cup butter, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1½ cups dried cherries, roughly chopped
- ¾ cup sweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips, roughly chopped
- For Glaze Topping:
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1½ tablespoons cherry jam
- 1 tablespoon cream or milk
Make it step by step
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Prepare two 24-cup mini muffin tins with muffin liners or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and fine salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, mix together the three different sugars, coconut oil and butter. Beat on high until well combined, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the yogurt and almond extract and beat on medium-low to incorporate.
- With the mixer on the lowest speed, add the dry ingredients and mix just until the batter comes together. Fold in the cherries, coconut and chocolate chips.
- Using a small scoop, fill the prepared muffin tins about three-quarters of the way full. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 10 to 15 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
- To make the glaze, combine all glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Mix with spoon until no lumps of powdered sugar are visible and mixture is smooth. Thin with more cream, if needed, for a drizzling consistency. Enjoy!
