How to Make Gluten Free Apple Cherry Cranberry Coconut Pecan Granola Muffin

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Toast 1/2 cup pecan halves in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly toasted. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups gluten-free granola, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  4. Peel and core 2 medium apples (about 1 1/2 cups diced). Add the diced apples, 1 cup dried cranberries, and 1/2 cup dried cherries to the dry ingredients.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, 1 large egg (or flax egg), and 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in the toasted pecans.
  8. Fill greased muffin tins about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the tops are browning too quickly, tent with foil.
  10. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
