Cherry Coconut Muffins

There has been little to no baking in the Cinnamon and Spice house lately. Thanks (not!) to the especially hot and humid weather. Boo!  The very same weather that has been plaguing us since May with no end in sight. And because the kitchen is the heart of our house. The center upon which we convene. The oven is off limits along with anything else that will make the temperature skyrocket causing the kitchen to be intolerably hot. And consequently taking our gathering place from us.

So you can imagine my surprise one morning when I woke up to a cool room. The thermometer read 71 degrees. Not 101 or even 91. I rejoiced. Then I sprinted to the kitchen with sleep still in my eyes and proceeded to bake my little heart out by making muffins for breakfast. The very beauties you see here heavily adorned with red, juicy jewels you may know and love as much as I do – sweet Bing Cherries. Giddy with delight I also tossed in coconut flakes. For a little more oomph. Not that they needed it…

Moist, sweet and summery, they fixed me right up. So much so that when a blanket of humidity descended upon us again by early afternoon I didn’t even give a care. I was kicked back in my semi-cool kitchen with this tray of lovely muffins laid out before me, deliciously and completely satisfied.
