I know.  I baked.  Shocking! To prove it, here is a picture of my product!

I don’t cook much, but I looove to bake.  And I have made a promise to myself to be thriftier and healthier in meals in the new house, so thought I would get some practice in today.  I found this recipe at Food.com and wanted to share!

Ingredients:

Yield:

12
muffins
Units: US | Metric
  • 1 cup rolled oat (old fashioned oatmeal)
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt


Directions:

  1. 1
    Soak oats in milk for 1 hour.
  2. 2
    Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
  3. 3
    Spoon into a muffin pan that has been lightly greased or sprayed with nonstick spray.
  4. 4
    Bake at 400 F for 20-25 minutes.
  5. 5
    Variations: To make Oatmeal Raisin Muffins, Oatmeal Apple Muffins, or Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins, add raisins/chopped apples/chocolate chips to the batter.

I followed the directions exactly, but added chocolate chips to half of ours for the kids.  Also, as a note, the directions tell you to spray the pan.  I used muffin papers and did not spray.  But next time I will spray the papers, as they stuck to the paper badly.  After they had completely cooled for a few hours though, they did not stick!  They tast great and have a nice texture.  I also think next time I will keep half chocolate chip for the kids and make half with blueberries or cranberries, as I think the plain ones needed a little something.
Enjoy!  I know we will enjoy ours!  And Emmy and I plan to bring a few to a friend tomorrow. 🙂  Muffins are perfect for sharing!

    They do look yummy! And I bet they smelled great right out of the oven too. There’s just something about walking into a kitchen and smelling something freshly baked!

    Those sound great! Cranberries would be awesome in them, I think.
