Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and line a muffin tray with liners

 

In a mixing bowl add the eggs, vanilla, melted coconut oil, honey, orange juice and zest.

 

Add the baking soda on top of the orange juice so that it begins to foam and then add in the flours and stir on low speed until just combined, don’t over mix

 

Using a spoon, gently stir in the fresh cranberries and chopped pecans

 

Fill each muffin cup to the top with batter and gently press down on the batter to make sure they are firmly filled.

 

I usually top each muffin with a few extra cranberries to make them look pretty.

 

Bake in the over for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

 

Allow the muffins to cool completely for at least 20 minutes before removing from the tins.

 

Enjoy !

 

Pro Tips For Success :

 

Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially for the orange zest and juice. The zest adds a burst of citrus aroma, while fresh juice provides a tangy kick.

 

Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to tough muffins. Stir the wet and dry ingredients together until they are just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps in the batter.

 

Uniformity: To ensure even baking, try to fill the muffin cups with the same amount of batter. Using an ice cream scoop or a measuring cup can help achieve this.

 

Variations: Feel free to customize your muffins by adding white chocolate chips, almond slices, or even a touch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
