Ingredients

    1 Tbsp. flax seed
    1 cup quick-cooking oats
    1 cup lowfat buttermilk
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. baking soda
    1/2 tsp. cinnamon
    1 tsp. salt
    1 large egg
    1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
    3/4 cup packed brown sugar
    1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375. Mist cups in a 12 cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line them with paper liners. Using a clean coffee grinder, roughly grind flax seeds.

2. In a small bowl, stir together oats and buttermilk. Let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; mix with a fork to blend. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat egg, applesauce and brown sugar at medium speed for 3 minutes.

3. Blend oat-buttermilk mixture into egg mixture. Stir in flour mixture until just combined-try not to overwork batter. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Sprinkle with flax seeds.

4. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes, them turn muffins out of pan onto rack to cool completely.

Makes 12 muffins.
