These Cranberry Wheat-Free Muffins are a healthy and delicious snack that is also perfect for breakfast or brunch. They are fluffy and moist with juicy cranberries inside, making them a perfect treat for any time of the day. The muffins are gluten-free and wheat-free, which means they are an excellent option for people with dietary restrictions. The muffins are also sweetened with honey, which is a natural sweetener, instead of refined sugar, making them a healthier alternative to traditional muffin recipes. Almond flour replaces traditional wheat flour in this recipe, which makes the muffins high in protein and low in carbs.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F( 175°C ) and line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners.
2.	In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cranberries until well-combined.
3.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla extract, honey, and eggs until frothy.
4.	Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5.	Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin liners, filling each one about three-quarters full.
6.	Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
