Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins

Let me apologize for not having pictures of this recipe. I was taking them out of the pan when I realized I didn't take any pictures! I know, I am slipping!

These muffins are really good and not bad nutritionally either. All three of the monkeys like them and so does my fellow zookeeper :)

Ingredients:
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup non-fat milk
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 egg whites
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt ( I omit this)
1 tsp cinnamon
raisins or nuts (optional)

Directions:
Soak the oats in milk for about one hour. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray the muffin pan with cooking spray. Combine the oat mixture with the applesauce and egg whites and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, measure and whisk the dry ingredients together. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until just combined. Add nuts or raisins if desired.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until done.
Remove from pan, cool and enjoy. These can be frozen and reheated in the microwave.

If you are looking for a filling idea for breakfast, try these. Seriously. I usually have a glass of orange juice, 1 muffin and a lowfat cheese stick at about 7 and I am comfortable until noon.
