If you're looking for a healthy and delicious breakfast or snack, these cranberry orange muffins are the perfect choice. They're packed with flavor, fiber, and essential nutrients, making them a great way to start your day or satisfy your hunger between meals.
Made with whole wheat flour, fresh cranberries, and orange zest, these muffins are a great source of fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. They're also low in sugar and fat, making them a guilt-free treat that you can enjoy anytime.
To make these muffins, start by preheating your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 tbsp of baking powder, and 1 tsp of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, 1 egg, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Next, fold in 1 cup of fresh cranberries and the zest of 1 orange. Spoon the batter into a greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
These cranberry orange muffins are best served warm, straight out of the oven. They're also great for meal prep – just store them in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer and grab one whenever you need a quick and healthy snack.
