Ingredients
2 cups old fashioned rolled oats (not instant)1- 17 oz. carton vanilla Micellar Milk rtd protein supplement2 cups whole wheat flour1/2 cup Splenda brown sugar blend1 cup unsweetened applesauce4 egg whites1 tsp. vanilla extract2 tsp. baking powder1 tsp. baking soda1 tsp. salt2 tsp. cinnamon 1 cup shredded apple
In a large mixing bowl combine Micellar Milk and oats. Set aside to soak for at least one hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare two 12-cup muffin pans with baking papers or silicone liners and spray with oil. Muffins will stick terribly if you do not use a release spray.
To the oat mixture add Splenda brown sugar (if you use Sugar Twin brown sugar substitute your calories will be slightly lower), applesauce, egg whites, vanilla and shredded apple. Stir by hand to combine.
In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to wet ingredients and stir by hand just until incorporated. Do not overmix or muffins will be tough.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until muffins test done. Do not overbake. Makes 24 muffins.
Note: Micellar Milk can be purchased at health food specialty stores or on the internet. To use a comparable substitute look for a ready-to-drink vanilla protein shake that is whey-based and has 40 grams of protein in 17 ounces. If you are not concerned about increasing the protein in the basic recipe then use nonfat milk in the amount of 2 cups. The basic recipe can be varied as demonstrated by many other Sparkpeople users and is an excellent muffin base. Vary the spices,fruit used (or none at all), substitute other mashed fruit or vegetable products for the applesauce and even do flour substitutions. Thank you JOJOMKE for an excellent recipe.
