raisins or nuts (optional)



Directions
Soak the oats in milk for about one hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

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.
Do not over mix the batter or the muffins will be tough. Spoon muffin mixture into muffin pan.
Combine the cinnamon and sugar and top each muffin with some of the mixture.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until done.

Maybe you will love this.
Instead of using the shortening I used applesauce and these were a huge hit at a party I took them too.

bump Thanks!

Thank you for the recipe... I need gluten free so I will just substitute my flour mix for the whole wheat flour.....Am going to make them now so I can have one for breakfast tomorrow morning!!! Thanks again...

sound so yummy.. i will make them tomorrow thx

My gluten free flour is very close to whole wheat flour in calorie content as far as I am concerned... So I will add a few calories on, making each one 125 just to guess......

Thank you for the inspiration!

I made them gluten free (substituted the flour for 1/3 gluten-free all purpose flour, 1/3 sorghum flour and 1/3 almond flour). Also added 1 tsp xanthan.

Felt like something that reminded me of summer this morning (we just got 30cm of snow in Montreal), so I made them with peach applesauce, added some apricots and ginger (instead of cinnamon). Also substitued the sugar for Splenda.

They turned out light and fluffy, quite tasty, at 124 cal. a piece.

Bump thanks!
