Paleo Cranberry Orange Muffins Recipe
"These almond flour muffins are absolutely delicious and are Paleo, gluten-free, and dairy-free. These Paleo Cranberry Orange Muffins are perfect for the winter season! Just a note of caution – I’m not a huge fan of orange juice (I don’t consider fruit juices to be Paleo in general, but only a small amount was used to make 12 muffins so I made an exception in this case). Also, most dried cranberries contain sunflower oil (or another type of non-Paleo oil). The best ones I’ve found are from Steve’s PaleoGoods (they are cranberries infused in apple juice). So while these cranberry orange muffins are delicious, I would suggest not eating too many of them (and this is the same advice I give for any Paleo dessert or treat)."
