- 1 tbsp oil Olive or melted coconut oil

Preheat oven to 350C (180F). Line a muffin pan with paper or silicon cups or make sure it’s really well greased with coconut oil or ghee.
In a large bowl, combine oat flour, almond flour, hemp hearts and baking powder. In a separate bowl, combine applesauce, eggs, maple syrup, orange zest and oil. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix together.
Fold in fresh cranberries and chocolate chips. Divide evenly between 12 muffin cups and bake for approximately 25 minutes.
If turning this into a loaf, place batter into a standard size bake pan and bake for 45-50 minutes until a fork inserted comes out clean.
To make nut-free, swap out almond flour for spelt flour. They will be a little more dense.
