Apple oat muffins

Apple Oatmeal muffins

Hello everyone!

This is one of my favorite recipes! It’s a 100 cal muffin with whole wheat flour. It’s nice as a quick breakfast in the morning and quite filling! I hope you enjoy!

Time: 15 min + 20 min baking

Quantity: 12 servings

Ω: Normally I follow my recipe but I got adventurous this time! I ran out of oats, so i filled the rest of my cup with some Oat bran. Then I also didn’t have enough applesauce so I added half a mashed banana to reach my quantities. I added about 2 tbsp of ground almonds and 1/2 cup of raisins! Yum! I have to say they turned out a bit nicer this way! So make sure to experiment!

Ingredients

1 cup of old fashion rolled oats (or half and half with oat bran)

1 cup of non-fat milk (any will do, but I like to keep the calories down a bit)

1 cup of whole wheat flour

1/2 cup of brown sugar

1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce (I will post a recipe about how to make this fresh)

2 egg whites

1 tsp of baking powder

3/4 tsp of baking soda

1/2 tsp of salt

Raisins or nuts

1 tsp of cinnamon

1 tsp of sugar

The making off 

Lets start with the applesauce! While this is stewing, you can prepare the muffin ingredients!

You’ll need one red (sweet) apple (like Jonagold or pink Lady) and 2 tbsp of water.

1. Peel the apple and cut it in small pieces.

2. Add them to a sauce pan with the tablespoons of water, turn on the heat (medium or low) and put a lid on it.

3. When the apples are soft, mash them up so you got little to no chunks. You are done! This is unsweetened applesauce! If you want it sweetened, just add sugar to your taste. Personally I never add anything, I just make sure to buy really sweet apples! You can add some cinnamon tho!

The making off (The muffin part)

1. Soak the oats in milk. One hour if you use the old fashioned oats only, if you use a mixture or just oat bran soak them for about 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 400°F or 200°C

3. combine the oat mixture with applesauce and the eggwhites, and mix until well combined.

4. In a seperate bowl measure and stir the dr ingredients together.

5. Add wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Add nuts or raisins if desired.

6. Spray muffin pan with cooking spray and spoon muffin mixture into muffin pan.

7. Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle each muffin with some of this mixture (royally)

8. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool down.
