HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY & FILLING DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY MUFFINS

double chocolate cranberry muffins

I’m always looking for a FUN way to satisfy my sweet tooth while packing in the nutrients… I like to get some bang for each bite – ya know??

This recipe is the PERF way to satisfy your sweet tooth with nutrient dense ingredients

  • CACAO POWDER: antioxidants for protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals
  • ALMOND BUTTER: heart healthy fats, bone supporting calcium, and mood-boosting magnesium
  • OAT FLOUR: more fiber than regular flour
  • CRANBERRIES: good source of collagen-stimulating vitamin C

These muffins are healthy, but portion control is KEY!! Luckily, they are already portioned out in the silicone muffin molds 😉

Recipe

  • 1 cup almond butter (drippy kind)
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup (i like to use this low sugar, low carb brand)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Splash of apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup blanched almond flour
  • 3/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/3 cup cacao powder 
  • 1.5 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cranberries + additional for topping
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips + additional for topping
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F
  2. In a large bowl, mix almond butter, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar
  3. In a medium bowl, mix almond flour, oat flour, cacao powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt
  4. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until well combined
  5. Fold in chocolate chips and cranberries
  6. Spray muffin mold with coconut oil then add additional chocolate chips + cranberries if desired ( it looks a lot cuter with toppings;) )
  7. Bake 18-22 mins, or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted

Pro tips:

  • Spray your measuring cup with coconut oil spray before measuring the almond butter or maple syrup
  • Place a rubber jar opener under your bowl to keep the bowl in place when you stir
  • Use a silicone muffin mold instead of a tin so you can pop out the muffins SANS the crumbles

I hope you enjoy!!
