Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large oranges
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil*
  • 1 ⅔ cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup melted honey
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • cup raisins or craisins

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Start by washing your oranges and then zesting one of them (using a small grater to remove the bright orange part of the peel). Set aside.
  • Peel the oranges. Then place oranges, eggs, coconut oil, and honey in the blender. Blend for about 30 seconds or until very smooth and liquidly.
  • Add the whole wheat flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and crasins to the blender. Blend only until just combine, about 5-10 seconds. Don’t over blend there may be a few streaks of flour still that is okay.
  • In a greased muffin tray or in muffin liner put ⅓ cup of batter in each cup. Sprinkle orange zest on top of the muffins. Bake for 15-17 minutes, until muffins spring back slightly when touched with your finger. Leave the muffins to cool in muffin pan for 5 minutes before placing muffins on cooling rack to fully cool. Optional: Sprinkle with even more zest.

Notes

*Coconut oil can be replace with grapeseed oil, or canola oil.
