Description

A simple coconut-ty muffin with a chocolate kiss on top. (It’s gluten and grain-free too!)

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Pecan Meal (almond Meal/flour May Be Substituted)
  • 3 Tablespoons Coconut Flour
  • 1-½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ cups Dark Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups Shredded Coconut
  • ½ cups Salted Butter, Melted
  • 1-½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 whole Large Eggs, Lightly Beaten
  • 24 whole Dark Chocolate Hershey's Kisses (any Variety Of Hershey's Kisses Can Be Substituted)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F and line mini-muffin pan with paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together pecan meal, coconut flour, baking powder, brown sugar and shredded coconut.

Add butter, vanilla, and beaten eggs; combine well.

Spoon batter evenly into mini-muffin cups (makes 24). Since the batter is kind of thick, I gently pressed it downed into the cups a bit—not much, just a little.

Gently press a Hershey’s Kiss upside down into each batter filled mini-muffin cup.

Bake 11-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Let cool, or serve right away. (If I were you, I’d serve right away. They are yumilicious while still warm.)

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

These sound delish. Could I sub gluten free flour for the coconut flour?

So easy and delicious!
I’ve made these twice in three days! I had to substitute all-purpose flour because that’s all I have; so I also subbed in coconut oil for half the butter amount to give a little more coconut kick. They turned out great and I will be making them again and again and again!
