Ingredients:
Combine the following in a small bowl:
- Zest and Juice of 3 Oranges (You should get nearly one cu of juice)
- 1/4 cu brown sugar
- 1/4 cu agave nectar (I like these two together, but this recipe is certainly flexible with sweetener options)
- 1/2 cu canola oil (They are muffins, there is really no getting around the canola oil. But hey, compared to the Thanksgiving dinner you just ate, these are practically diet food!)
- 1 T vanilla extract (Make your own by infusing vanilla beans cut in half with vodka in a mason jar for a few weeks)
Combine the following in a large bowl:
- 2 cu whole wheat flour
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 1 T baking powder
- 1/4 t salt
Have the following standing by:
- leftover cranberry sauce (about 1 cu)
- 1 cu chopped walnuts (Thest are optional, but then they wouldn't be CranOrangNut!)
Very Simple Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir.
3. Gently stir in cranberry sauce and walnuts.
Pretty in pink!
4. Fill your lined muffin tins and bake for 20 - 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
They go in looking like this:
And come out looking like this:
Let cool and enjoy! Although, they are delicious warm, and might not last until breakfast. In that case, you may want to look up my vegan waffle recipe. :)
