Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour (sub gluten-free if needed)
  • 2/3 cup of sugar + 2 tbsp

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp of sea salt

  • 1 ½ cup of fresh cranberries

  • 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax seed + 4 tbsp of water)

  • ¾ cup of unsweetened oat milk

  • 1/3 cup of canola oil

  • 3 tbsp lemon juice

  • 2 tsp lemon zest

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a separate bowl combine the fresh cranberries with 2 tbsp of sugar. Toss until completely coated. 

  2. In a large bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Whisk until well combined. 

  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in flax egg, oat milk, canola oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract. Using a spatula mix until both wet and dry ingredients are well combined.

  4. Once mixed gently fold in the sugared cranberries until they are evenly distributed.

  5. Spoon the batter into a non-stick or greased 12 muffin pans. Fill to about ¾ full. 

  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.

  7. Once the muffins have cooled remove from the pan to avoid soggy muffin bottoms. Nobody likes a soggy bottom!
