Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
