Ingredients
  

  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ½ cup almond milk
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ cup greek yogurt
  • 2 cups blended oats
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • ½ cup coconut flakes
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup cranberries, chopped
  • ⅓ cup pecans, chopped
  • ½ cup cranberry sauce

Instructions
 Start Cooking 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease each well.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients until smooth and well combined.
    1 lemon, ½ cup orange juice, ½ cup almond milk, ¼ cup coconut oil, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 Tbsp maple syrup, ½ cup greek yogurt
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients.
    2 cups blended oats, 1 Tbsp baking powder, ½ cup coconut flakes, ½ tsp salt, 1 Tbsp lemon zest
  • Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Fold in the cranberries and pecans evenly.
    1 cup cranberries, ⅓ cup pecans
  • Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ½ full. Add a spoonful of cranberry jam into the center of each muffin, gently covering it with more batter but do not fill to the top of the well.
    ½ cup cranberry sauce
  • Bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 365°F and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted (avoiding the jam center) comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins tender. The jam center will remain slightly soft even when fully baked.
