Cranberry Coconut Mini Scuffins

Hi Everyone,

I know I took last week off, but I spent my cooking time outside tending the garden and working late. Anyway, when I get home from work, I love to turn on Food Network for some inspiration. I was watching Valerie Bertinelli’s cooking show while doing my steps. Noting like working out and watching cooking on TV. lol I have to admit I have always been a fan of Valerie since her days on One Day at a Time. She is just so cute! Anyway, the other day she made Cherry Coconut Scuffins and I knew I had to try the recipe. I didn’t really change it up, except I cut the recipe in half and used cranberries instead of cherries, since I didn’t have any.

These little Scuffins turned out amazing. The name Scuffins is a mix between a scone and a muffin. Valerie named it that. Well she was right, you really get a scone flavor but a texture of a muffin. They taste out of this world. Light, fluffy, moist and sweet.

In the recipe you use coconut sugar and coconut oil and of course more coconut inside and on top. They have a wonderful coconut flavor without being too over whelming. The cranberries add a nice tang and chew to the Scuffins. The only thing wrong with this recipe, is I cut it in half to make 24 Scuffins, which actually they made 32 and I wish I had more. They taste good, even my Husband liked them.

This is a picture of the Scuffins before I put them in the oven.
