Ingredients
Almond Flour - Using blanched finely ground almond flour will yield the best results.
Clementine Juice and Zest - Valencia or navel oranges can be used instead.
Olive Oil - Melted coconut oil can be substituted for the olive oil if desired.
Cranberries - I suggest using fresh cranberries as the frozen cranberries tend to make the muffins too moist.
Directions
Begin by whisking the dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls, then pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the almond flour mixture, mixing until well combined (photos 1 and 2).
Gently stir in the cranberries then fill the lined muffin cups almost to the very top with batter (photos 3 and 4).
Give the tin a few taps on the counter to help release any air bubbles from the batter, then place on the middle rack of the oven to bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Allow the muffins to cool on the counter for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Storing the almond flour cranberry orange muffins
The muffins can be served in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to five days.
They can also be frozen for up to three months and thawed in the refrigerator overnight.

Loved this recipe. Thank you. Not sure if there’s an error or we used a different type of cranberry. 1 cup of fresh, whole berries for me was 4 oz, not 8. That would’ve been a lot of cranberry. 😉

Definitely an error, thanks for bringing it to my attention! I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe!

Amazing! I used refined coconut oil as the sub for olive oil. I have made this recipe 5 times and have also changed it up making into a loaf. Definitely a weekly bake!
Jennifer Brown
Yay! Glad you enjoy it Jessica!
