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 mins
Cook Time:22 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.

This raspberry cacao smoothie is Papa G approved a This raspberry cacao smoothie is Papa G approved and that’s a big deal! 😋

Before I get into the smoothie deets, let’s chat brain health.

I’ve had a few people reach out lately asking how they can boost their brain health. I think there’s so much we can do to support our brains and one of the main things is through what we eat! 

Nutrients are like fertilizer for the brain. When we feed it the right kind of nutrients, that’s where we’re going to see the most benefits. 

Think anti-inflammatory foods like antioxidant rich berries. Healthy fats like coconut, avocado and grass-bed butter. My fav protein sources like eggs (hello choline!), grass-fed beef, chicken, etc. I always come back to these foods because they are the simple foundation to supporting our overall health, too. 

There’s also other things too like cacao, mushrooms like lion’s mane, green tea, etc. 

So check out this delish smoothie recipe I whipped up with brain boosting goodies that I got from @naturescanada !

1 cup full-fat coconut milk (you can do half milk and half water)
1 cup frozen raspberries
1 pitted Medjool date
2 tbsps cacao nibs
1 tsp cacao powder
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract 
1 dropper of lion’s mane
1 scoop protein powder (I used vanilla but you can use chocolate - I like the mix of vanilla and chocolate in this smoothie)

Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

That’s it! Enjoy. ❤️

BAKED FETA FRIES Some of my kitchen staples as a BAKED FETA FRIES 

Some of my kitchen staples as a Greek: potatoes, olive oil, feta, oregano. Put them all together, and you get feta fries. 😍

Here’s the how to:

2 large russet potatoes (if you keep the skin on, rinse them well)
2 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil
Generous pinch of sea salt
LOTS OF FETA (go nuts 😂)
1-2 tsps oregano 

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut the potatoes into fries then pat them dry. Throw them onto the baking sheet with the olive oil and salt. Toss to coat the fries.

Arrange them into an even layer and bake for 25 to 30 minutes (flipping halfway through) or until they are golden and crispy (timing also depends on the size of your fries).

Remove from the oven and place the fries into a serving dish. Top with all the feta and oregano. Enjoy! 💙

Notes:

You can soak the fries in filtered water for at least 15 to 20 minutes, rinse, pat dry then prep to cook. This helps to remove some starch and can make them crispier.

With about 10 minutes of baking left,  you can remove the fries from the oven and add some feta on top then place back in the oven.

Tastes delicious with fresh herbs and a squeeze or two of lemon juice on top!

TANGY LEMON TAHINI DRESSING 🍋 Currently obses TANGY LEMON TAHINI DRESSING 🍋 

Currently obsessing over this tangy goodness with a little secret ingredient (actually two) for some extra ZING.

Capers…and some of the brine! Oh yes…it’s DELISH.

Here’s the how to:

Makes about 1 cup (store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week)

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon (or 1 and a half…the more the better for me!)
2 heaping tbsps tahini
1 tsp raw honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp capers
1 tsp brine from the capers
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of black pepper
1/4 cup to 1/3 cup filtered water (optional)

Add all ingredients to a measuring cup or beaker (safe for using an immersion blender) and blend with an immersion blender until smooth. If you like it thicker, leave as is. If not, add water to thin it out. If you don’t have an immersion blender, use a regular blender.

Use on your favourite salads, roasted veggies, etc.! 

That’s it! Enjoy! 💛
