Beautiful, fluffy, zesty, seedy muffins.
Just like my Lemon Coconut Chia Muffins, these are citrusy fluffy muffins have chia seeds for a bit of texture. Orange juice helps the muffins brown and caramelize on top. Add any berries of choice. I had a big bag of frozen cranberries from fall which needed using and orange and cranberries are a perfect combination.

Notes
To make oil-free: use 2 tbsp more orange juice or use some nut-butter. To make these gluten-free: In a bowl mix 3/4 cup oat flour, 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/3 cup starch (a combination of tapioca and potato starch works best), 2 tbsp coconut flour and 1/2 tsp xanthan gum. Use 1 1/3 cup of the mix and blend in. Add more if the mixture is too runny. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Nutritional values based on one serving
