Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free flour see notes
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum omit if your flour blend contains it
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup fresh cranberries whole or roughly chopped (see notes)
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ⅓ cup avocado oil
- ½ cup orange juice with no pulp, room temperature
- ½ cup milk room temperature (see notes)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- coarse sugar for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a muffin pan by lightly spraying with cooking spray or lining with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Toss in the cranberries to coat with the mixture, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, orange juice, and milk. Slowly add in flour mixture with the cranberries. Stir in white chips until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared muffin cups, splitting the batter evenly between the 12 wells (they'll be pretty full). Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar, if desired.
- Bake for 16-20 minutes or until tops of muffins spring back to touch and a cake tester comes out clean. Mine took the full 20 minutes.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar, drizzle with white chocolate, or serve as-is warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- I use my Nightshade-Free Gluten Free Flour Blend in this recipe.
- If you use frozen cranberries, you'll have to increase the baking time.
- For dairy free, use unsweetened coconut milk beverage and dairy free white chocolate chips.
- You can sub chopped nuts or additional cranberries in place of the white chocolate chips if preferred.
- Store leftovers at room temperature in an air-tight container for up to 3 days. These muffins also freeze well in a freezer bag. Defrost at room temperature.
