Spumoni Muffins...REALLY- They're Just THAT Good!!!

From Kristi’s Kitchen

Ingredients:

¼ c. coconut flour

1/3 c. raw coconut palm crystals OR xylitol

½ tsp. sea salt

¼ tsp. aluminum-free baking powder

1/3 c. chopped pistachios

3 organic eggs

1 ¼ tsp. almond extract

3 tbsp. Milk & Honey flavored Amasai (click on link to the right for info and purchasing)

2 tbsp. melted organic unsalted butter OR grapeseed oil

6-8 fresh or frozen sweet cherries, diced

Directions:

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees

-Combine dry (except pistachios & cherries) and wet ingredients separately

-Pour wet into dry and whisk until smooth

-Fold in pistachios & cherries

-Fill 8 lined muffin cups ½ full with batter

-Bake in preheated oven for 18 minutes

I made these for breakfast and couldn't believe my taste buds. If you like Spumoni -you will LOVE this...the combination of almond, pistachio and cherry is scrumptious!

makes 8 - 1 serving = 2 muffins (coconut flour muffins are very filling; less is more)

TIP: This delectable muffin may easily be turned into a fabulous dessert…While the muffins are hot out of the oven break apart a Beyond Organic Dark Chocolate Bar into 8 pieces and insert a piece into the center of each hot muffin. Let the muffins cool completely and ice with Homemade Vanilla Whipped Cream OR Healthy Non-Dairy Whipped Topping (I like “Mimic Crème’s Healthy Top: http://www.amazon.com/MimicCreme-Non-Dairy-Whippable-Substitute-16-Ounce/dp/B003D32WVQ) VIOLA...DESSERT!
