Ingredients

• 1.5 cups multigrain flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 0.75 cups dried cranberries (craisins)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the multigrain flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed and set aside.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, applesauce, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this may result in dense muffins.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries (craisins) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
