    Instructions

    • Spray liners with baking spray. This batter may make more than 12 depending on the liners you are using.
    • Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. Keep on bake, not convection bake if oven has that mode to keep from browning, but it's fine to use a convection oven too.

    Orange Mixture

    • Wash Navel orange and trim off the bottom, if necessary.
    • Cut into quarters. Put in cold water. Bring to boil for 30 minutes. Drain. Reserve 1/4 cup water.
    • Add to Vitamix or super blender. Pulse until you have a texture of course puree, with a little bit of zest showing. You may need to add a little of the reserved water in bottom of blender. Set aside to cool. This can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated. It can also be made ahead and frozen.
    • Reserve a tablespoon of orange mixture for the glaze.

    Dry Ingredients

    • Whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, xanthan gum, Swerve granulated. Set aside.

    Make Batter

    • Beat eggs for five minutes. I use my whipping wand.
    • Slowly stream in oil.
    • Add vanilla extract.
    • Add orange mixture to batter.
    • Add dry mixture beating on low.
    • Use an Ice cream scoop to scoop batter onto each liner.
    • Bake for 15 to 22 minutes depending on what liner you use.

    Glaze

    • Mix orange juice, water with Swerve Confectioner's for sugar free (or confectioner's of your choice, until you get a consistency you can drizzle. Drizzle over each muffin or on cranberry orange bread.

    Notes

    Swerve Confection: You can put Swerve (or Lakanto) into a Vitamix and pulse to make a confectioner's sweetener.
    You can skip the glaze and sprinkle with confectioner's sweetener as an option.
