Dr Jockers Comments:
This is a grain-free cranberry orange muffins recipe that tastes amazing. It is loaded with healthy fats such as coconut oil, pasture-raised eggs and grass-fed butter that are anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial. They also help the body to burn fat and improve energy levels.
The coconut and almond flour provide great low-carbohydrate fiber source that feeds the gut microbiome and favors the development of a healthy microbial flora. Essential oils help to favor a beneficial microflora as well.
Cranberries are low in carbs and loaded with antioxidant compounds. They are a great component in this recipe! Your family will love the flavor of these muffins! Let us know how you enjoy this in the comments section below!

I tried the recipe for Cranberry Orange Muffins. These are delicious…even better the next day, as the second day they seem to be less crumbly. Love them.
Wanted to say, though, that there is NO WAY 10 mins. is enough to bake them!!! I tried 10 mins. 4 times, and they were finally baked through.
Test kitchen might want to see if the “10 mins” baking time published was a typo.
These muffins sound absolutely amazing! Only 1 big problem…I can not use sugar at all and cranberry sauce is full of sugar. Could I substitute dried, apple-sweetened cranberries. What adjustments would I make for the moisture lost from the cranberry sauce? Apple sauce? What ratio? Thanks!! I have really missed breads and muffins since going grain-free, sugar-free, yeast-free!
You could try making your own low-carb cranberry sauce! You could do this by mashing up some cranberries with a touch of water, and stevia or monk fruit to taste! You really would just need to experiment with the proportions to see how you like it!
So I’m wondering, if I’m not wanting to go fully ketogenic for various reasons, is it ok to consume some of these very high fat recipes, or should I not consume them unless I’m fully keto committed?
TL, I typically recommend a cyclic ketogenic diet which is different from being fully keto. You can read more about it here: https://drjockers.com/burn-fat-with-a-cyclic-ketogenic-diet/
Also, simply following a lower-carb, higher fat diet can also be beneficial as long as you are consuming HEALTHY fats.
My son has an anaphylactic allergy to nuts. Can I just use all coconut flour in this recipe, is the almond flour for flavour or consistency? Thanks
Hey Diane, you could use all coconut flour but you will likely need to alter the rest of the recipe to get the right consistency. You may also be able to try cassava flour as an alternative.
What substitute can I use for stevia? Maple syrup? Honey? Coconut sugar? How much would you use?
Yes you can use these but do so in moderation!
Want to make these for the holidays, but my sister is allergic to coconut. What flour can I use instead? I will probably us a mild evoo instead of the coconut oil. Thanks!
You can use almond flour instead and I would recommend if you take out the coconut oil to use butter rather than EVOO!
I’m not a huge fan of stevia. If I use coconut sugar or maple syrup instead, does anyone know how much? I know baking is a “science” and if the ratios are “off”, you won’t get the desired results. Thanks all!
These muffins are absolutely amazing – moist and full of flavor! This is a great base to use for other flavors like lemon blueberry, apple spice, etc.
Thanks for sharing!
I have PKD and so need to avoid almonds/almond flour. Do you know of a low oxalate alternative flour that can be used instead?
