Who doesn’t like a tasty, soft muffin for breakfast? These muffins have a delightful twist of flavors of orange and cardamon. Since dried cranberries pair so well with the orange flavor, I added some of them, too.

If you have been following my blog you will know that I love to bake with sourdough. Fermenting the dough makes it easier for your body to digest. Some people who are sensitive to gluten can eat sourdough bread since it has been fermented which breaks the phytic acids down. To me, there is something special about taking flour and water and turning it into a bubbling starter.

If you have extra unfed/discard sourdough starter to use it, this recipe is the perfect one to use some of your excess. If you do not have sprouted flour, you can mix this recipe and refridgerate it for 24 hours before baking. The fermenting time will break down the phytic acid in the flour so your body can digest it better.

Sprouted Wheat Flour has already been sprouted making it easier for your body to digest.

I love this oat flour as it gives a great texture but you can also ground oats if you do not have flour.

I love to use ground cardamon in baking.. It has a distinctive tase that I love.

Orange Extract

I have all sizes of cookie scoops. They are so handy when you want a consistent size product. This company has all kinds of sizes.

I love my Immersion blender … I use it every single day! I blend my coffee, eggs, just anything that I want smooth.
