Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ cup brown sugar
¼ tsp pinch of salt
1 tbsp ground flax seeds + 2 tbsp water
1 ¼ cup freshly pressed orange juice about 2-3 large Navel oranges
⅓ cup refined coconut oil melted
zest from 1 orange
1 cup fresh cranberries roughly chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a muffin pan with 12 muffin paper liners.
Start by preparing the fruits: zest 1 orange and set aside. Also juice the oranges and measure 1 ¼ cups, set aside. Chop the cranberries.
In a medium bowl, combine the ground flax seeds with the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the coconut oil using the stove or the microwave.
Pour the melted coconut oil over the flax mixture and add the orange juice and orange zest. Stir until combined.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar and salt.
Pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture and stir until just combined (do not over mix). Then, fold in the chopped cranberries.
Divide the batter in between the 12 prepared muffin paper liners and bake in the oven for 25 muffins. Let them sit for 5 minutes before unmolding. Enjoy!

Notes

I recommend following the scoop and level method to measure the flour.
Keep the muffins on the counter covered for up to 3 days. Transfer to the fridge for storage up to 7 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
