CRANBERRY-ORANGE MUFFINS
These cranberry-orange muffins are not overly sweet, and big on flavor. Lots of tart cranberries and sweet orange juice/zest kick the flavor up. Best when made with fresh cranberries, fresh orange juice, and lots of pulp! My family loves them without the glaze, but some of my sweet-toothed friends prefer it with, as the muffins are only slightly sweet on their own.

Tips for Making Orange Cranberry Muffins for Diabetics
- Use fresh, ripe oranges. The fresher the oranges, the more flavorful the muffins will be. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have bright, smooth skin.
- Grate the orange zest. The zest is the flavorful outer layer of the orange peel. Grating it will release the oils and add a burst of flavor to the muffins.
- Use unsweetened cranberry sauce. Sweetened cranberry sauce will add unnecessary sugar to the muffins. Look for unsweetened cranberry sauce in the grocery store, or make your own by simmering cranberries with a little water and stevia.
- Use whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour is a more nutritious choice than white flour. It is higher in fiber, which can help to slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
- Use a sugar substitute. Instead of granulated sugar, use a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol. These sweeteners are low in calories and carbohydrates, and they won't raise your blood sugar levels.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Conclusion
These orange cranberry muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are made with fresh oranges, unsweetened cranberry sauce, whole wheat flour, and a sugar substitute. They are also low in carbohydrates and calories, making them a good choice for people with diabetes. So, next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying breakfast or snack, give these orange cranberry muffins a try!
