Ingredients

• 2 1/3 cups Almond Flour 🌰
• 1/3 cup Coconut Flour 🥥
• 1/2 tsp baking soda 🥄
• 2 eggs 🥚
• 1/2 tbsp orange zest 🍊
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 🌼
• 1/2 cup orange juice 🍊
• 1/4 cup honey 🍯
• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted 🥥
• 1 cup cranberries 🍒
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped 🌰

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a muffin tray with liners. 🔥 This will ensure your muffins come out easily and maintain their shape.

2️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, honey, orange juice, and orange zest. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. 🥄

3️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients

Add the baking soda on top of the orange juice so that it begins to foam. Then, add in the almond flour and coconut flour. Stir on low speed until just combined; be careful not to overmix. 🍥

4️⃣ Fold in Extras

Using a spoon, gently fold in the fresh cranberries and chopped pecans. This ensures that the fruits and nuts are evenly distributed throughout the batter. 🍒🌰

5️⃣ Fill Muffin Cups

Fill each muffin cup to the top with batter and gently press down to ensure they are firmly filled. Top each muffin with a few extra cranberries for a pretty finish. 🧁

6️⃣ Bake

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. ⏳

7️⃣ Cool

Allow the muffins to cool completely for at least 20 minutes before removing them from the tins. This step is crucial for the muffins to set properly and for easy removal. 🌬️
