Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup cranberries, fresh or frozen, roughly chopped
- 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 3/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoon orange zest (from 1 large orange)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the applesauce, oil, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Fold in the cranberries.
- Using a spoon or scoop, fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the muffin batter.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, your Vegan Cranberry Orange Muffins are ready to enjoy. They're perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a sweet treat any time of the day.
