Ingredients

Wet:
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • zest of 1/2 an orange
  • 1/2 cup sugar (scant) I usually use a combination of coconut and unrefined raw sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 to 4 tbsp chia seeds
Dry:
  • 1 1/4 cup flour I use 3/4 cup spelt/ whole wheat and 1/2 cup white
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup frozen cranberries

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend the wet ingredients except chia seeds. Fold in chia seeds and let sit for 10 mins to hydrate the seeds a bit.
  2. Line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F / 190ºc.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the blender and pulse a few times to combine. Alternatively, add and whisk all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add to wet and mix to combine. The batter should be somewhat flowy but not runny. If too runny, add a tbsp or more flour and mix in.
  4. Drop the batter into lined muffin pan. Add cranberries or other berries on top. Sprinkle some chia seeds on top (optional).
  5. Bake for 20 to 22 mins.
  6. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan then a few minutes on the counter before serving. The muffins can be kept on the counter (covered) for the day, or refrigerated upto 5 days.

Notes

  • To make oil-free: use 2 tbsp more orange juice or use some nut-butter.
  • To make these gluten-free: In a bowl mix 3/4 cup oat flour, 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/3 cup starch (a combination of tapioca and potato starch works best), 2 tbsp coconut flour and 1/2 tsp xanthan gum. Use 1 1/3 cup of the mix and blend in. Add more if the mixture is too runny. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes.
