Total time: 30 min
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour; 1 cup quick oats (not rolled oats. See Recipe Testing Notes above for how to make your own quick oats.); 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 teaspoon baking powder; ½ teaspoon baking soda; ½ teaspoon kosher salt; ⅔ cup maple syrup or honey; ⅓ cup avocado oil (or a neutral tasting oil); 1 Tablespoon orange zest; ¼ cup orange juice; 2 teaspoons vanilla; 2 large eggs; ¾ cup Greek yogurt; 1 ½ cups roughly chopped cranberries; 1 cup finely grated carrots (I don't suggest using a large grate. Small grate helps the carrots almost melt into the muffin.)

These Healthy Cranberry Orange Muffins are bursting with fresh cranberry + orange flavor with a little grated carrot worked in for extra moisture and natural sweetness. Made with whole wheat flour, oats, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup or honey, they’re hearty, tender, and basically everything I want in a holiday-season muffin.
