How to Make Cherry Coconut Easter Eggs Gluten Free
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the desiccated coconut, cherries, and vanilla extract.
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners (or grease and flour the tin).
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the eggs cool completely in the muffin tin before removing.
- Once cool, melt the chocolate and drizzle over the cooled eggs. Optional: Decorate with sprinkles or additional coconut flakes.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
