Best Gluten Free Orange Almond Coconut Muffins Recipes

EASY ORANGE MUFFINS RECIPE (VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY-FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients: oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
• Add water and milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second increments until just warm. This will prevent the melted coconut oil from solidifying once mixed with these liquids.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: water, milk, orange juice, orange zest, oil, sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Whisk until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain.
• Pour batter evenly into prepared muffin pan-filling each cup all the way to the top for big, round tops, and ¾ of the way for a larger quantity of smaller muffins. Bake for 22-26 minutes. Mine took 24 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness-once it comes out clean, it's done.
• Place muffin pan on a cooling rack to cool for 20 minutes. Remove muffins from muffin pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 1-3 hours. Optionally, in a small bowl, whisk together Glaze ingredients until thickened: confectioners' sugar and orange juice. Drizzle muffins. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

GLUTEN-FREE COCONUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Sift coconut flour together with baking powder, salt, and baking soda into a bowl and set aside.
• Whisk eggs, coconut milk, sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid.
• Fold 1 cup coconut flakes into the batter. Distribute the batter evenly among the prepared cups, filling them 2/3 of the way full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup coconut flakes over the tops of the muffins.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Cool muffins in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing them to continue cooling directly on the wire rack.

ORANGE ALMOND CAKE (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to the boil, add the oranges, cover and simmer for one hour.
• Stain off the water. Cool the oranges. If you are in a hurry, I suggest you partly cool them -- (this will still work).
• While they are cooling, food process the sugar with the eggs until the sugar is dissolved and pour into a bowl.
• Cut the oranges in half and de-seed them and put the oranges (with peel and pith) into a food processor and pulp until reasonably smooth.
• Pour the pulp into the sugar/egg mix and add the almond meal. Gently mix together.
• Pour mix into baking paper lined 24 - 26cm springform tin and bake for 50 - 60 minutes at 185°C.
• Serve with creme fraiche, whipped cream, or vanilla ice-cream -- makes an awesome dessert. You could drizzle a little citrus liqueur around the plate.
• Added thoughts -- This cake DOES NOT need any syrup poured over it.
• NB.Simply double this recipe to get two large cakes. It is just as successful.
• Occasionally, I will add a slurp of Grand Marnier, Contreau, or Galliano; however, try it plain initially.
