Cranberry Applesauce Muffins

Easy paleo cranberry applesauce muffins that are perfect for breakfast or snacks.

Paleo muffins are one of my favorite convenience foods to make ahead. I bake them with whatever add-ins I happen to have in the kitchen — fruit, vegetables, even chocolate. For this one, I used cranberries, applesauce, and a hint of cinnamon.

These cranberry applesauce muffins are a quick and easy paleo breakfast. I baked the muffins over the weekend and stashed them in the freezer. So today I just reheated one in the oven. It was perfect with my pumpkin spice latte.

These cranberry applesauce muffins are perfect for weekend breakfasts or eating on the go during the week. Even better, the cranberries can be replaced with whatever you have on hand—the base of this recipe is flexible and easily adapted to your favorite add-ins!
