These almond flour cranberry muffins are amazing! They make use of the beautiful tart cranberries that are in the stores now, and lots of yummy nourishing eggs. The only reason they are yellow is because of the deep yellow yolks of pastured eggs. On the Specific Carbohydrate Diet it is recommended to only consume one nut flour baked good a day, since nuts are a little bit difficult to digest, but nut flour does create yummy muffins! These grain free muffins are suitable for people both on SCD and GAPS.

** To use paper muffin liners without using genetically-modified vegetable oil spray on them, just drop a dab of coconut oil into the bottom of each liner, preheat in the oven for a few minutes until the coconut oil melts and wicks up the paper liner.

December 22, 2010 at 10:02 pmAre you using cranberries from a bag, like the “name brand” version available in the produce section around the holidays? Do you use them straight out of the bag? I’ve never used cranberries before so I don’t know what to do.

July 23, 2012 at 1:35 pmJust wanted to mention the site Just Almonds. You can buy in bulk at $3.36lb and less. However, there is a FedEx shipping charge on that too. Maybe worth looking into. I just ordered from them 50lbs and it was $168. With the shipping $191. That’s $3.82 per pound.

January 19, 2017 at 7:17 pmI wouldn’t recommend substituting the coconut flour for almond flour. Its a lot drier then almond flour and is hard to replace. I would try a different recipe without the coconut flour if you are avoiding it.
