Oatmeal Apple Nut Muffins
(Makes 12 muffins)
These are so scrumptious...
and healthy, too!
Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats, not instant
1 cup apple, coarsely grated
2/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup plain soy yogurt or
flavored soy yogurt
2 egg whites, beaten (or 1/4
cup Egg Beaters)
2 Tablespoons canola oil
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup walnuts or pecans,
chopped
1. Combine oats, apple, maple
syrup, soy yogurt, egg whites, and oil in a medium sized bowl.
2. In another bowl, combine
flour, baking powder, soda, salt and nuts.
3. Fold the liquid
ingredients into flour mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
4. Spoon batter into 12 large
paperlined muffin tins (I prefer tins lightly sprayed with non-stick
cooking spray).
5. Bake in an oven preheated
to 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.
