Fit cranberry muffins – notes

What ingredients are essential for preparing orange muffins?
To bake the muffins, you will only need a few basic ingredients. Below is a condensed list of the products I used and possible substitutes.
- orange juice – I used freshly squeezed juice and orange zest; ultimately, you can use ready-made juice – use about 150 ml of it and add 150 ml of buttermilk to it
- sugar – I used regular granulated sugar, but if you want even lower-calorie or healthier muffins, you can use erythritol or xylitol
- buttermilk – plain natural, you can substitute it with kefir or a thinner natural yogurt
- cranberries – I used dried fruit, but if you have fresh or frozen cranberries, you can also use them – you don’t need to thaw the frozen ones
How to make other flavor variations of muffins?
Orange muffins can also be baked with other additions. You can replace cranberries with, for example, raisins. You can also use other dried fruits – e.g., apricots – then cut them into smaller pieces. Instead of fruit, you can also add chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. They will taste great in combination with the orange flavor of the muffins.
How to store healthy cranberry muffins?
Due to the lack of fat, the muffins may tend to dry out slightly. Therefore, it is advisable to store them in an airtight container with a lid to prevent this. You can also freeze orange muffins for about 3 months.
