Orange Cranberry Coconut Flour Muffins (Paleo)
Description
Orange Cranberry Coconut Flour Muffins (Paleo) combine coconut flour with fresh cranberries and orange juice and zest for a citrus-tart flavor profile. The batter uses whole eggs and coconut oil to create moisture and richness, balanced by the natural sweetness of maple syrup. Baking soda acts as the leavening agent.
The muffins bake at 350°F until they develop a golden edge and firm but moist crumb, which is typical for coconut flour recipes. Coconut flour’s absorbent nature requires letting the muffins cool for 20 minutes before removing and serving. The fresh cranberries add bursts of tartness against the mild orange flavor.
This recipe yields 12 muffins, making a good batch for breakfast or snacks. They store best in the refrigerator due to moisture content and should be brought to room temperature before eating to restore flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup coconut flour (I use this brand)
- 6 egg
- 1/2 cup orange juice (from 2 oranges, or 6-8 clementines)
- orange about 2 teaspoons, zest
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup , at room temperature
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cranberries fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a standard muffin tin with 12 baking cups. (Silicone baking cups work best with coconut flour; parchment cups tend to stick a bit.)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, eggs, orange juice, zest, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk to mix well, breaking up any clumps, then fold in the fresh cranberries.
- Divide the batter among the 12 cups, then bake at 350F for 23-25 minutes, until the edges are golden the centers of the muffins feel firm to a light touch. Allow the muffins to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
- Since these muffins are very moist, leftovers should be stored in the fridge for best shelf life, but bring them to room temperature again before serving for best flavor and texture.
