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. 
Speaking of fast, that brings me back to these gluten free cranberry chocolate chip muffins. 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. 
Not only are Enjoy Life Food products gluten free and dairy free, they’re also free from wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish and shellfish. Their products are also made without casein, potato, sesame, coconut, and sulfites. So basically, if you know someone with a food allergy, this is the brand for them ???? Since these are free from so many things, you might be wondering what they taste like. The answer is simple: delicious. These muffins are truly delicious. They’re fluffy, they’re sweet, and they’ve got a great flavor profile from the chocolate and tart cranberries. This is one of those easy recipes you’re going to want need on hand this holiday season. These gluten free cranberry chocolate chip muffins also freeze really well. Make a batch ahead of time, and pull some out the thaw overnight and you’ve got yourself a quick weekday breakfast or add them to your big weekend breakfast or even Christmas brunch. By the way, if you’re looking for another fast recipe that is perfect for those busy mornings or you want to impress your guests, try these Gluten Free Cherry Muffins from Dishing Delish! Enjoy!
