- All-purpose flour: 2 cups
- Rolled oats: 1 cup
- Brown sugar, packed: 1/2 cup
- Baking powder: 1 tablespoon
- Baking soda: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Large eggs: 2
- Milk: 1 cup
- Vegetable oil: 1/2 cup
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Dried cranberries: 1 cup
- Slivered almonds: 1/2 cup
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Gently fold in the dried cranberries and slivered almonds.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra crunch, reserve a few almonds to sprinkle on top of the batter before baking.
- If you prefer a sweeter muffin, increase the brown sugar by 2 tablespoons.
- You can substitute orange zest for some of the cinnamon for a brighter flavor.
