Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, and 1/4 cup maple syrup until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups almond flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until blended.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking gently until no lumps remain.
  5. Fold in 1 cup of fresh cranberries gently using a spatula.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool the muffins in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
