Orange Cranberry Muffins


I tried out this recipe while I was on vacation and it was quite a hit. A citrusy way to enjoy some baked goods by the pool and not worry about adding on the pounds. I hope you enjoy!

2 1/2 C almond meal
1 C apple sauce
juice / zest of one medium orange 
2 tbsp cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
4 eggs
1/4 C maple syrup
1/2 C dried cranberries



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, blend the almond meal, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add in the apple sauce, orange zest, orange juice, eggs and maple syrup. Pulse the food processor until the batter is smooth. Fold in the cranberries. Spoon into a greased muffin tin and bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean). This should make about a dozen muffins. To help the muffins baked more evenly, try using the 1/4 C measuring cup to spoon the batter and this will help you keep the muffins consistent and delicious.
