Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups Fresh Cranberries
- 2 Tablespoons Monkfruit/Allulose Blend
- 2 Cups Almond Flour
- 1/2 Cup Monkfruit/Erythritol Blend
- 1/2 Cup Vanilla Mölk
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Butter (melted)
- 2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
- 1 Teaspoon Orange Extract
- 1/4 Cup Almond Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Orange Zest
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Orange Juice (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Next line a 12 cup muffin tin with cupcake liners or grease it with either olive or avocado oil.
- While the oven is preheating pour the cranberries into a small saucepan. Add the allulose sweetener and stir. Cover and cook on medium heat, stirring often. Cook until they have begun to sweat and the allulose has dissolved.Remove from heat, and let the cranberries cool while you mix up the batter.
- To make the batter, add the almond flour, monk fruit/erythritol blend, protein powder, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Stir together until evenly combined.
- Next, add the eggs, melted butter, cream, almond milk, and orange extract. Mix until well incorporated.
- Add the zest and the juice to the batter and mix again.
- Next, fold in the cooked cranberries until evenly distributed. Take care not to over-mix the batter on this step! Over-mixing can cause the juices from the cranberries to bleed too much, and will create unwanted color in your batter.
- Once mixed, scoop the batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each well about 3/4 of the way full.Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool before serving and enjoy!!!
