Substitutions
While our keto orange cranberry muffins are already delicious as is, you can always experiment with variations and substitutions to suit your taste preferences. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Add nuts or seeds- For an extra crunch and flavor, you can consider adding a handful of chopped walnuts, pecans, or pumpkin seeds to the muffin batter. They will add a nice texture and complement the tanginess of the oranges and cranberries.
- Swap cranberries for other berries- If cranberries aren't your favorite or you can't find fresh or frozen ones, you can easily swap them out for other berries like raspberries or blackberries.
- Try a different citrus- While orange zest and juice give these muffins a refreshing flavor, you can experiment with other citrus fruits like lemon or lime. Each citrus fruit will bring unique tanginess to the muffins, allowing you to create different flavor profiles.
