Cranberry-Oatmeal Muffins with Applesauce

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.

Step 2
Combine applesauce, oil, orange juice, egg, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; mix well.

Step 3
Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oats, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Add dry mix to wet mix, stirring just until moistened. Gently fold in cranberries; do not overmix. Divide batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed and muffins are light golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
