These Keto Zone Cranberry Orange muffins are hands down one of the best ways to start Christmas day, especially when topped with soft butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

As keto-friendly as can be, almond and coconut flour substitute out unhealthy wheat/white flours and keto sweetener outs unhealthy sugar.

You don’t even have to be on Keto Zone to enjoy, which is perfect for the whole family.

While you’re here, check out the 8 other healthy Christmas breakfast ideas below the recipe. Let the Christmas cooking begin!

Keto Zone Cranberry Orange Muffins

If coconut flour isn’t an option, use 3 cups of almond flour and only 3 eggs. Don’t forget to buy blanched almond flour instead of almond meal. Almond meal has a much finer consistency that can create less dense muffins. You can also use granulated monk fruit sweetener in place of swerve or sour cream in place of Greek yogurt.
