Ingredients
*1/2 cup milk (I used 1%)*1 cup quick oats - (you will grind 1/2 cup of the oats in food processor or coffee grinder until flour consistency)*1/2 egg*2 tbsp unsweetened (no sugar added) applesauce*2 tbsp Splenda (or other sweetener/sugar)*1 tsp baking powder*1/4 tsp cinnamon*dash of salt*1/4 tsp vanilla (optional)*1/4 cup frozen (or fresh) blueberries (about 4 or 5 blueberries per muffin) - could use bananas, apples or even carrots! Add nuts if you like. Of course, nuts alter the stats a tad :)
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.

In a small bowl, combine the milk and HALF the oats (remember the other 1/2 of the oats will be ground as used as the flour substitute); let soak for 15 minutes.

Grind 1/2 cup quick oats in food processor, coffee grinder, etc. until the consistency of flour.

In a separate bowl, beat together egg and applesauce; stir in oatmeal mixture.

In a third bowl, combine ground oatmeal (flour), splenda/sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into wet ingredients, just until combined. Mix in gently desired fruit and/or nuts.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups until cups are 2/3 full.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

    question: *l/2 egg...
    is that 1/2 cup egg beaters? - 10/22/11

    I believe this recipe has great potential, it was good....but if you are looking to satisfy a sweet tooth you may want to increase the sugar, vanilla etc...I used vanilla and a tablespoon of honey.
    The muffin itself turns out great! - 11/22/10

    I like using the oatmeal for flour and will try this recipe again. I may try and sweeten it a bit more though.... perhaps some honey. I also forgot the vanilla - that may help too. - 7/14/09
