In a medium bowl sift together dry ingredients except coconut. Set aside.

In a jug combine together egg, milk and oil. Add wet to dry and stir only until the dry ingredients are moistened, add coconut and stir again gently. The mixture will be happily lumpy.

Spoon into muffin papers filling each half to two thirds full. If topping sprinkle on some mix and top with a cherry. Bake in a 190/375 degree oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

What 1 Other has said

A bit disappointed. I have just baked this recipe, and I think it calls for too much salt. My muffins turned out too salty, you can't even taste the sugar. Other than that: nice texture.
