Healthy Fresh Cranberry Orange Coconut Muffins image

I'm a sucker for all things coconut and now that we have healthier options for incorporating it I like to modify existing recipes. This is a healthier version of a classic Cranberry Orange muffin. I've eaten 2 just now and had to make myself stop. Original version of this I was inspired from is recipe #75662 on this site.

Time 35m

Yield 16 muffins, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup fresh cranberries, chopped
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup oat bran
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup coconut butter, melted
3/4 cup orange juice
2 large eggs
1/2 cup pepitas (raw hulled pumpkin seeds)
turbinado sugar, for sprinkling on top before baking

Steps:

  • NOTE: If not using coconut flour then you can probably use ½ cup of OJ. Coconut flour requires more liquid.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line muffin tins with paper cups. - I love the new parchment ones they have in grocery stores now.
  • In a bowl, stir together cranberries & regular sugar.
  • In a large bowl sift together flours, oat bran, coconut flakes, baking powder, salt and brown sugar.
  • Whisk eggs, OJ, and melted butter and then add to dry ingredients all at once and stir until moistened.
  • Fold in sugared cranberries.
  • Scoop into prepared muffins liners evenly .
  • Sprinkle desired amount of Turbinado sugar on top of each.
  • Bake at 400F for 20 minutes or until lightly brown and toothpick comes out cleanly.
