Instead of using dried sweetened cranberries, this recipe uses fresh cranberries. Not only are they naturally low in fructose, cranberries add a delicious tartness to baked goods (and make a delicious fresh cranberry sauce). When included in cranberry orange muffins, these berries take on a classic holiday flavor.
Pair your cranberry orange muffins with a hot cup of turmeric bone broth or warming spiced eggnog for a special low-carb treat.
