Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup olive oil or your favorite oil
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 cups almond flour not almond meal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries leave whole if small, or cut in half if large

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a standard size muffin pan with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, orange zest and juice, and maple syrup until combined.
  • Add the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and whisk until well incorporated and no lumps remain.
  • Gently fold in the cranberries.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the (12) muffin cups and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown and set.
  • Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Pro tip:  For best results, use fresh orange juice as it makes the flavor really shine.  You can also incorporate the orange zest for maximum orange flavor!
  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries.  If frozen, thaw slightly and blot dry with a paper towel before adding to the batter.
  • Store cranberry orange muffins in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 3-5 days or in the refrigerator for one week.  They may also be frozen for up to 3 months!
