Gluten Free Cranberry Chocolate Chip Muffins

Do you guys like making easy, tasty, and flavorful muffins but with the convenience of using a pre-made muffin mix? Yes? Then this post is for you! I am ALL about the convenience foods this time of year. I literally spend hours in my kitchen every day baking and cooking. And let’s not even mention the cleanup. BUT I do love it –  and this blog wouldn’t even be here without all that recipe creation going on. But when it comes time to make breakfast or even dinner for my family, I have been in SUCH a rut. Truthfully, we have made breakfast for dinner a regular thing lately. Pancakes and eggs, muffins and eggs, or waffles and eggs are a weeknight staple because they’re easy and FAST.

To keep things easy on myself, I used a box of Enjoy Life Foods muffin mix and added a few ingredients. These muffins are so good – you’d really think they were 100% homemade. I frequently link to Enjoy Life Foods chocolate chips in my recipes because I use their baking chocolate for everything since they’re dairy free. Their chocolate chips are the base of my paleo hot fudge sauce, I use them in the ganache for my peppermint macarons, they’re the base of my avocado truffles, and the list goes on… Today I used the mini chips because my kids love them but you could also use the chocolate chips or even the chocolate chunks. Just use a bit more than the recipe calls for.  Gluten Free Cranberry Chocolate Chip Muffins - nut free and vegan (top 8 free).
