Ingredients

2 eggs
½ cup maple syrup
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoon orange extract
2 cups blanched almond flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 cup cranberries (frozen or fresh)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and grease a muffin tin (or line with muffin cup liners.)
Whisk eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and orange extract in a large bowl.
Add almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Fold in cranberries.
Fill each muffin cup about half-way. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick into the muffins and it comes out clean.

Notes

Here is the key though, DO NOT SKIP THE ORANGE EXTRACT. I discovered when making my cranberry bliss bars that the orange extract is the golden ticket to any baked good with cranberries in it. Trust me on this, you will not regret it. You'll love these muffins so much you'll end up using that bottle of orange extract up faster than you could imagine!
