Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins

I was in the baking mood and went right to my kitchen to make these, thanks for the recipe.

I modified them a bit (added vanilla, reduced oil by ½, reduced applesauce by ½ cup, used sweetener instead of sugar, skim milk instead of 1% and egg beaters instead of an egg) mainly b/c the instant oats I have are higher in calories than the more common Quaker kind so I compensated.

I came up with 7 jumbo muffins which made them 3 WW points each.

I added the recipe to MFP, ‘Jumbo Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins - 3 WW Points’, I’m just waiting 20 more minutes until they are done to add a photo and tell you if they were any good (batter tasted good so I have high hopes).


I'll be back by 9:40 to let ya'll know

Do the muffins have to be refrigerated since they have the apple sauce surprise center which is probably perishable at room temperature?

Here is how mine turned out! Bratgrr1 suggested sprinkling with cinnamon sugar and I did that but before I did make a little slit, in the top of each muffin, and put just a tish of applesauce in the slit then sprinkled each one with the cinnamon sugar. I too used artificial sweetener and skim milk and put a teaspoon of both vanilla and cinnamon, in the batter mix. I did make them with the paper liners and just like bratgrr1 found the liners did not come off real easy. (although I suspect that after refrigerating they might peel off a little easier.) I got 14 from my batch. They are fantastic and I think just that little bit of applesauce, on the top of each muffin, with the cinnamon sugar, helps add a little sweetness.
