Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    1 T flax seeds
    1 c blueberries
    1 c quick oats
    6 oz low fat yogurt (Vanilla or blueberry )
    1 c whole wheat flour
    1 t baking powder
    1/2 t baking soda
    1/4 t cinnamon
    1 t salt
    1 whole egg
    1/4 c unsweetened applesauce
    1/2 c brown sugar (I used less)
    1 Tbs Splenda



Tips

Don't do like I did the first time -- forget to add the flax seed!!!

These are great to make ahead.
I made a batch and froze in individual baggies.
Nuke for 30 seconds and they're just like they came out of the oven.


Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray muffin pans with nonstick spray or line with paper liners.
Use a clean coffee grinder to roughly grind the flax seeds, trying not to process them into a mealy texture. (You can use pre-ground flax if that's what you have on hand.)

Wash and dry the blueberries. In a small bowl, combine the oats and yogurt, and let stand at room temperature for five minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; mix with a fork to blend and set aside.
In a large bowl and using a hand mixer, beat the egg, applesauce, brown sugar & Splenda at medium speed for 3 minutes.
Blend in the oat- yogurt mixture.
Stir in the flour mixture only to combine, try not to overwork the mixture. Fold in the blueberries. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and top with a sprinkle of flax seed.
Bake 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
