Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup coconut oil, at room temperature

  • ½ cup butter, at room temperature

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ½ cup turbinado (raw) sugar

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt

  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

  • 1 ½ cups dried cherries, roughly chopped

  • ¾ cup sweetened shredded coconut

  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips, roughly chopped

Glaze Topping:

  • ¾ cup confectioners' sugar

  • 1 ½ tablespoons cherry jam

  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, or more as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 24-cup mini muffin tins or line cups with paper liners.

  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.

  3. Combine coconut oil, butter, white sugar, turbinado sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on high speed until well combined, about 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add yogurt and almond extract and beat on medium-low to incorporate. Mix in flour mixture on the lowest speed until batter is just combined.

  4. Fold cherries, coconut, and milk chocolate chips into the batter. Fill muffin tins 3/4-full of batter using a small scoop.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

  6. Combine confectioners' sugar, cherry jam, and heavy cream in a small bowl; mix with a spoon until no lumps of confectioners' sugar are visible and glaze is smooth. Thin with more cream if needed. Drizzle over scuffins.

Cook's Note:

Substitute milk for the heavy cream if desired.
