Paleo Cranberry Orange Muffins Recipe [Gluten-Free, Grain-Free]

These Paleo Cranberry Orange Muffins are perfect for the winter season!

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).

STEP 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.

STEP 2: Fold in the dried cranberries at the end.

STEP 3: Line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Carefully spoon the mixture into the muffin liners – level out with a fork or spoon.

STEP 4: Bake for 20-22 minutes (a toothpick should come out clean when you insert it into a muffin).
