Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners. To prevent muffins from sticking, grease each paper liner with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup coconut sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt together.
In a large glass liquid measuring cup, whisk ½ cup almond milk, ½ cup yogurt, ¼ cup coconut oil, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons orange zest and 3 tablespoons orange juice.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the bowl and gently stir with a silicone spatula to combine.
Gently fold in 1 cup whole cranberries.
Use a medium-sized cookie scoop or ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop batter into each well of the muffin tin, filling cups about ¾ of the way full.
Bake muffins in preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, until top of muffins bounce back when gently touched.
Remove from oven and let muffins cool in pan for 3 minutes, then move to a wire baking rack to completely cool.
Store in an airtight container, lined with paper towels, for up to 3 days.
Notes
Be careful not to over mix the batter, as it can cause the muffins to be dense and dry. Stir just until there are no large streaks of flour left in the bowl.
