When the three oldest grands spent Sunday night with us,
we knew they'd expect one of Papa's home cooked breakfasts on Memorial Day.
He made eggs, bacon and sausage, (only grandson doesn't like bacon),
and it was requested that I make some muffins.
My first thought was blueberry muffins, but I was out of blueberries.
So, necessity being the mother of invention, I whipped these up using what I had on hand.
They were a big hit, and healthy too!
Whole Grain Applesauce Cinnamon Muffins
Whisk together dry ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup oat bran
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Whisk together and then add the wet ingredients, being careful to not over mix:
2 eggs and 1 egg white lightly beaten
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (I used non fat)
1/2 cup milk (I used skim milk)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
Fill greased muffin tins 3/4 full
Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for approximately 20 minutes
Add some raisins and chopped walnuts to the batter if you wish.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI'm sure you could sub the whole wheat flour for a gluten free type. Is oat bran GF?
