INGREDIENTS
  • Cooking Time: 20-25
  • Servings: 12
  • 1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
  • 1 cup reduced-fat milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon (I omitted this because I'm allergic)
  • 1 tsp. granulated sugar
  • Nuts or raisins (optional)
DIRECTIONS
  1. Soak the oats in milk for approximately 1 hour.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Combine the oat mixture with applesauce and egg whites, and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl whisk together dry ingredients.
  5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add nuts or raisins, if desired. **Do not over mix the batter or the muffins will be tough!**
  6. Spoon batter into 12 prepared muffin cups. Combine cinnamon and sugar and top each muffin with some of the mixture.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until done.
