Difficulty
Medium

Ingredients

2 cups gf flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon gf vanilla extract
8 ounces creme fraiche or gf sour cream
2 large eggs

3.5 ounces semi-sweet gf chocolate, cut into pieces
1 cup dried cherries
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 egg
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 or so teaspoons of brewed coffee

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a jumbo muffin pan or regular muffin pan; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine gf flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a separate bowl, combine orange juice, oil, vanilla, sour cream, and eggs. Whisk thoroughly until well-blended.

Pour egg mixture into dry ingredients; stirring with a wooden spoon until just mixed.

In a food processor, combine chocolate, cherries, almonds, 1/3 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Process until mixture is blended and finely chopped. Add egg and pulse until combined. Add chocolate mixture to batter and stir until blended.

Spoon batter into 12 lightly greased regular muffin cups or 6 jumbo muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool for 10-15 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and coffee; making a glaze. Using the tip of a spoon, drizzle glaze over tops of muffins from edge to edge. Serve.

I used Gift of Nature Flour Blend, instead of the Gluten Free Pantry’s Country French Bread Flour Mix. I also made it into bread, instead of muffins. It was fantastic and tasted like cake. Yummy!!
