Healthy (and easy!) Oatmeal Muffins Sometimes there is just nothing better than a muffin with your morning tea! After finding out just how many calories, carbs and fats are in regular size muffin (sometimes over 350 cals and 35g of carbs..eeeek!) I decided to make a healthy, low cal and low fat version myself! I also made them small in size to help with portion control! I love this recipe and it will do the trick if you have the craving! Yields: 12 small muffins Ingredients 1 cup almond milk (lower in calories than regular dairy milk, and I prefer the taste!) 1 cup quick cooking oats 1 egg ¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce 1 cup flour (whole wheat is best!) ¼ cup white sugar (can be substituted with brown sugar if you prefer) 2 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 3 teaspoons flaxseed ½ cup craisins (or blueberries works well too!) dash or two of cinnamon Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line cups with paper muffin liners or spray with low cal cooking spray In small bowl, combine almond milk and oats; In a separate bowl, beat together egg and apple sauce; stir in oatmeal mixture. In a third bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into wet ingredients, just until combined. Mix in fruit of choice Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups until cups are 2/3 full. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
