Serves: 10 muffins
Ingredients
  • 2 cups homemade cashew flour (directions here)
  • 2 Tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 scoops Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • zest from 1 small orange
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp coconut cream or dairy-free yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cranberries, washed
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a muffin pan with 10 silicone baking cups (or grease 10 cups with little extra olive oil). You could also use paper baking cups.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl: the cashew flour, coconut flour, collagen, coconut sugar, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Use a fork to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, orange zest, yogurt or coconut cream and vanilla.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until well combined, then add the cranberries and stir them in.
  5. Divide the batter among the 10 baking cups - I used a ¼ cup measure to do this. The batter should almost reach the top of each well.
  6. Bake for 5 minutes at 425, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 (but don’t remove the muffins from the oven) and bake for an additional 18-20 minutes, until the muffins are lightly golden brown on top and cooked through in the middle.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack before serving.
