Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup canola oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
Add the dried cranberries to the dry ingredients and toss to evenly distribute.
In another bowl, whisk together applesauce, milk, canola oil, egg, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Each cup should be about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
