Coconut flour cranberry orange muffins with a coconut butter drizzle are an amazing breakfast or snack on-the-go! These healthy muffins are great for sharing with the whole family.

Sometimes in life, we just need to stop and smell the muffins. Slow down and enjoy bites of something tantalizing, zesty, tangy, moist, and perfectly sweet. I often forget how delightful a muffin a day can be until I bake a batch and am reminded how lovely it is to simply savor something cozy.
