Cranberry Orange Muffins

October 23, 2022 · In: Recipes, Sweet

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I just LOVE this flavour combo, especially in the fall. The tanginess you get from the oranges and the cranberries but also some sweetness from the cane sugar is perfection!

I’ve been working on a gluten-free “base” recipe for muffins and I think I have it nailed down with the flours, baking powder, egg, sugar and yogurt. I find that the yogurt helps to keep them moist, which we definitely want with a muffin. Here’s a few things I want to share about the ingredients:

Oat Flour

I make my own! It’s SUPER easy. In a high-powered blender, I just add rolled oats and blend until it resembles flour. That’s it. One cup of oats yields just over one cup of flour.

Sugar

I used cane sugar which I’m really loving for baking these days. However, you can use coconut sugar or monk fruit sweetener. If you use monk fruit sweetener, you can start with less. Give it a try and add more if needed.

Yogurt

I happened to have 0% Greek yogurt on hand, which I like to have before a workout when I don’t have time for a bigger breakfast so I used that in this recipe! You can also use 2% or even coconut yogurt to make it dairy-free.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I did! ♥

Cranberry Orange Muffins

Delicious, tangy, moist. Do I need to say anything else? Oh yes, and they are gluten-free!
Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time:10 minutes mins
Cook Time:22 minutes mins
Servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free oat flour I made this by blending rolled oats.
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt I used 0%
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 2 tsps orange extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and fill a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, coconut flour, baking powder and sea salt.
  • In another bowl, add the egg, Greek yogurt, cane sugar and whisk to combine. Stir in the orange juice and orange extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix well to combine to form the muffin batter. It should resemble a pancake batter. Fold in one cup of the cranberries.
  • Fill each muffin liner approximately 3/4's full. Top each with the remaining cranberries, about three to four each.
  • Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until you insert a toothpick and it comes out with a few crumbs on it.
  • Let them cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

To make these dairy-free, you can try to replace the Greek yogurt with unsweetened coconut yogurt. This has not been tested but it could work.

PINEAPPLE BLOOD ORANGE MOCKTAIL 🍍🍊 How bea PINEAPPLE BLOOD ORANGE MOCKTAIL 🍍🍊 

How beautiful are blood oranges? 😍

I’ve been playing around with mocktails and I think this might be one of my faves! 

Here’s the how to:

1/2 cup pineapple chunks
Juice of 2 blood oranges
1-2 tsps raw honey
1/2 cup coconut milk
Sparkling water
Ice

In a glass or cocktail shaker, add the pineapple, blood orange juice and honey. Muddle until the pineapple is mashed.

Pour in the coconut milk and stir. With a fine mesh sieve or strainer, place on top of a glass and pour about half of the pineapple mixture into it and use a spoon to get the juices out. Repeat with another glass.

Add ice to the glass and top with sparkling water. Garnish with a slice of blood orange. 

Enjoy! 💛 

* you can add a pinch of sea salt
* you can eat the muddled fruit or add a tsp or 2 to your drink!
* use pineapple juice if you prefer

PRODUCT SWAPS PART 3: Cooking! Ok ok this one is PRODUCT SWAPS PART 3: Cooking!

Ok ok this one is definitely a favourite for me! 👩🏻‍🍳

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the spices section @naturescanada 😍 I mean, what don’t they have? Having so many amazing options to choose from makes me feel confident I’m making healthy choices for me and my fam. 🤗 

So let’s dive right in.

Cooking oils - I know this is a hot topic but these are the things I cook with. Greeks (like me lol) have been using olive oil forevvveeerrr so I’m going to also use it foreva because it’s a part of my culture. 😉 Avocado oil, coconut oil, grass-fed butter and ghee. When buying olive oil and avocado oil, look for darker glass bottles to prevent oxidation. Also, don’t be afraid of butter! 🤗 Grass-fed butter is packed with healthy fats and fat soluble vitamins. Ghee is great too. Ghee is made by melting butter. It gets separated into liquid fats and milk solids. The milk solids get removed and then voila you have ghee! 

I personally don’t buy vegetable oils like canola, sunflower oil, etc. They are highly refined and processed and just no bueno for me. 🙅🏻‍♀️

Spices - make sure to read labels! You would I be surprised at what gets added to spices. If you’re buying dried dill, the ingredients should just be dill. 

Salt - same thing as spices…there should only be salt as the ingredient no fillers or any other nonsense! I’m a big fan of @redmondrealsalt ! 

As always, let me know if you have any questions. 🤗
