Gut Harmony Cranberry Muffins
SCD, Paleo, GAPS. This is a yummy and colorful family staple. We enjoy these muffins every year when cranberries are in-season. We love delicious and healthy food, but have places to go and things to do, so only simple and easy recipes like this one, make it into the family recipe binder.This recipe is versatile and freezes well. It is even easier and faster to bake it as a cake (without the need to ladle portions to separate muffin cups). When time is tight, I just pour the batter into an oiled flat Pyrex baking dish (9x9) and bake until golden-brown, then cut it into square cranberry bars.
