Cranberries

Cranberries aren’t just for Thanksgiving! I am so glad our store still carries fresh cranberries so I can share this easy cranberry muffin recipe to you. Cranberries are not only great in recipes. They have tons of health benefits too.

Muffins are one of those things I love to bake. I can sneak healthy stuff in, like vegetables, and my teens eat them up. My nut hating daughter has no idea these muffins are loaded with high protein almond flour.

My son who doesn’t like sour…the white chocolate chips hide the cranberry lime flavor enough that he loves these muffins too! These definitely kid friendly gluten free muffins.

And if they love these muffins, I know they will also love these Gluten Free Blood Orange Streusel Muffins and these Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins :-).

And if you love how light and fluffy these muffins are, you can change them up by using different seasonal fruits like:

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup gluten free flour blend
• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• dash salt
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 6 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 cup fresh cranberries (If you use dried, reduce sugar amount to 1/2 cup)
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
   

2. In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients. (Please note my gluten free flour blend contains xanthan gum as a binder. If your blend doesn't have this, add 1 teaspoon to your dry ingredients.)
   

3. In a small bowl, add all wet ingredients, chips and cranberries.
   

4. Mix lightly. Do not over mix because your muffins won't be as light and fluffy if you do.
   

5. Put muffin paper cups into a muffin tin (or each muffin cup section of your pan with coconut oil to prevent sticking.) Fill each cup 3/4 to the top with batter. Top each with lime zest.
   

6. Bake 20-25 minutes until done.
