“Found on the “Making Thyme for Health” website this recipe is a tastly Cranberry Orange Muffin recipe. This recipe is both gluten-free and dairy free. I made this recipe just last week (Christmas holidays 2020) and shared it with our friends…you know the ones that can’t eat gluten or dairy… well they loved it and we loved it so it will be made again and again. They are light and moist. Since cranberries are a bit tart, I made a simple frosting and drizzled it just a little over the top of the muffins.
“Gluten-free Cranberry Orange Muffins- made with a combination of wholesome gluten-free flours, these naturally sweetened muffins are bursting with flavor from fresh cranberries and orange zest.”
This recipe is made with a combination of oat flour and almond flour. Costco has a good price on almond flour and I keep a bag always in the fridge. It can last a while this way. This recipe also calls for non-dairy yogurt. I never have that on hand. I used almond milk in its place and it worked out fine.
Fresh cranberries may be hard to find sometimes, so if you pick up a couple of bags during the Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays they freeze well and can be used anytime. You’ll probably want to thaw them out before chopping them in the food processor.
These Gluten-Free Cranberry Orange Muffins can be made as muffins OR small loaves. If making loaves just add about 10 minutes more to your timer.
I add a small amount of frosting to ours.
My simple orange frosting:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp orange zest (optional)
1-3 tbsp water
Add just enough water to make a nice wet frosting that drizzles easily over the muffins.
A big shout out to Sarah and her Making Time for Health site. There are a few really great recipes to be found on this site and we love this one. Enjoy!
