Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/3 cups gluten free all-purpose flour we use Bob’s Red Mill
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp all spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp clove
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup walnut pieces we used unsalted
  • 1 cup frozen cranberries
  • 4 tbsp orange marmalade

Instructions
 

  • Add flour, baking soda, salt, brown sugar and all the spices into a large bowl and mix well.
  • Add applesauce, orange juice, avocado oil, eggs and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Once everything is mixed well add walnuts and frozen cranberries and mix again.
  • At this point pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. This will allow the sugar in your batter to fully dissolve and create a better texture muffin.
  • Once the oven is pre-heated prepare your muffin tin with muffin liners. I love the look of the rustic tulip cupcake liners. They add height and visual appeal to your presentation, and they are more forgiving when too much batter is added.
  • Stir batter one more time and scoop 1/3 cup batter into each muffin liner. This mix should make about 12 muffins.
  • Add 1 tsp of orange marmalade to each muffin and swirl well throughout batter. I use a butter knife to do this process, you do not want it all sitting on the top of the muffin.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before removing from muffin pan.
  • For best results allow to pretty much cool completely before enjoying. Store remaining muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best results.
