Ingredients




3 cups almond flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup ghee, melted
4 eggs
4 Tablespoons orange juice
1/2 cup dried cranberry (sweetened if unsweetened, add 1 Tablespoon raw honey as well) – this one from Steve’s doesn’t contain any non-Paleo oils
zest from 1 navel orange (1 Tablespoon)
EQUIPMENT – muffin pan and muffin liners

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350F. Combine the almond flour, baking soda, ghee, eggs, orange juice, and orange zest together in a large mixing bowl. Mix well. 2 Fold in the dried cranberries at the end. 3 Line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Carefully spoon the mixture into the muffin liners – level out with a fork or spoon. 4 Bake for 20-22 minutes (a toothpick should come out clean when you insert it into a muffin).

Just a note of caution – I’m not a huge fan of orange juice (I don’t consider fruit juices to be Paleo in general, but only a small amount was used to make 12 muffins so I made an exception in this case). Also, most dried cranberries contain sunflower oil (or another type of non-Paleo oil). The best ones I’ve found are from Steve’s PaleoGoods (they are cranberries infused in apple juice). So while these cranberry orange muffins are delicious, I would suggest not eating too many of them (and this is the same advice I give for any Paleo dessert or treat).
