Delicious Coconut Cranberry Muffins made with Greek yogurt, coconut and oat flour are lightly sweetened. A healthier gluten free breakfast or snack on the go. Gluten Free + Low Calorie

Every year after Thanksgiving I make a batch of muffins. They make a great quick, snack to have around during the holiday season when life is busy. They're portable, pre-portioned in the proper serving size and make you feel like you're eating something bad that's really good for you!

For myself and my clients, I find having planned treats on hand makes it easier for them to control how they choose to eat other treats during the holiday season. Because let's face it...we're presented with a lot of options this time of year!

Coconut Cranberry Muffins

These coconut cranberry muffins are better for you and balanced in nutrition to keep blood sugar stable which greatly helps regulate cravings. These muffins are high in fiber so they will fill you up and keep you satisfied for awhile. That's why I love these as a quick snack.

They're also lightly sweetened with maple syrup and use low sugar dried cranberries. You can also buy dried cranberries sweetened with apple juice for an even lower sugar option.

What You Need

  • Coconut Flour
  • Gluten Free Oat Flour
  • Maple Syrup
  • Eggs
  • Greek Yogurt
  • Coconut Oil
  • Baking Soda, Salt
  • Low Sugar Dried Cranberries

Helpful Tips

The eggs and coconut oil must be at room temperature before mixing together the ingredients. If you have to melt your coconut oil (it usually hardens in the pantry during the winter months), then let it cool 5-10 minutes to room temperature before mixing with anything.

This is important to ensure you don't get clumps of coconut oil in the batter. It also guarantees the batter will be smooth and the muffins bake thick and dense as they should.

Last, be sure to measure the oat and coconut flour properly. Coconut flour in particular, is extremely finicky to bake with. If you over measure, the muffins will be extremely dense and not so great to bite into.

    Yummy! Thanks for linking up with us for Fitness Friday! I can totally relate to working all the time. Still trying to find a balance, but it's hard when there's always something to be working on.

    I think I've been overworking myself and came down with a terrible sore throat and fever, body aches (crazy!) right before the holiday. I haven't yet figured out how to give myself breaks and my body seems to be rebelling. Really glad you've been feeling so well though - you deserve it!

    YAY! I love hearing a) that you had a great day and b) that you are able to be so active. That is so awesome, after so many months of feeling trapped, like I know that you have. And, well, if people say they are the best, I guess I gotta try them, right??
