Introduction
These are truly the miracle snack when you are craving a treat and you have dietary restrictions! These are wheat free, vegan, low sugar and low fat cherry chocolate-chip muffins – you would never know it! A special ingredient is the inclusion of coconut flour, which adds such a rich tropical taste. A quick note though: If you don't eat them in the first two days, freeze them. Simply zap in the microwave for about 30 seconds and they taste like they were right out of the oven! I found coconut flour at Bulk Barn, and the Sunspire chips at the health food store.

1 tbsp raw cane sugar
