Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
