With the mixer on the lowest speed, add the dry ingredients, and mix just until the batter comes together. Fold in the cherries and 1/2 cup of the coconut.

COCONUT CHERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180Celsius/350Fahrenheit/Gas Mark 4, and lay out your bun cases in a bun tray. If you don't have a bun tray (like me), then just double layer the bun cases on a tray.
• Add caster sugar and 115g butter in a bowl and whisk together. When light and fluffy add 2 tbsp of milk, then gradually beat in the eggs. Don't worry too much if it curdles! Sift in the baking powder and flour and fold in gently. I didn't use baking powder so that's why it is optional. Then fold in the coconut.
• Then you want to cut up 115g of glace/maraschino/fresh cherries into quarters and fold into the mixture (actually save a few to put on the tops once you've spooned it all into the bun cases and they tend to sink when in the oven).
• Now spoon the mixture into the bun cases and add the remaining cut up cherries to the tops, then whack them in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until firm and golden. Then leave to cool on a wire rack.
• Add the remaining 55g of butter and the icing sugar together, don't mix too fast of the icing sugar goes everywhere! Then add in 1tbsp of milk to make it nice and fluffy. Once the buns are chilled, add the topping with a piping bag (again, I don't have one of these so just used a spoon). Then put a whole cherry on the tops of each one, then voila! Yummy Cherry and Coconut cupcakes :-)

HEALTHY CHERRY OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with the oven rack in the middle. Spray a muffin baking tray with non-stick spray. I like using coconut oil non stick spray.

SOUR CHERRY MUFFINS WITH COCONUT STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease 12 standard muffin cups with butter. Drain the sour cherries and dry them on paper towels.
• Make the Coconut Streusel by stirring together the flour and brown sugar in a small bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in or rub in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the coconut. Set aside.
• Make the muffins by stirring together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in another bowl.
• In still another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs and half-and-half. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg mixture. Beat until thick and creamy. The batter will be slightly lumpy. Do not overmix.
• Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling 1/3 full. Drop in a few cherries and add batter just to cover and then drop in a few more cherries. Spoon on more batter until the cups are filled level with the rims. Sprinkle each with 1 heaping tablespoon of the Coconut Streusel.
• Bake until golden, dry, and springy to the touch, 20-25 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Turn out the muffins. Serve warm or at room temperature.
