Introduction

Almond milk, almond meal flour and applesauce help lower the carbs and calories, and the whole-wheat flour and flax seed add fiber. My twist further reduces calories by using Stevia and Molasses instead of brown sugar for 100 calorie snacks!

Ingredients

    1 Tbs. pre ground flax seeds
    1 c blueberries
    1 c quick oats
    1 c Almond Milk, Blue Diamond Original Unsweetened
    3/4 c whole wheat flour
    1/4 c Almond meal flour (Bob's Red Mill)
    3 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp salt
    2 whole eggs
    1/4 c unsweetened applesauce
    1/2 c Stevia in the Raw cup for cup sweetener
    2 tbs Molasses
    1 tsp vanilla extract


Tips

This version is delicious with a teaspoon of peanut butter smeared on top at breakfast! My kids like them with a sprinkle of brown sugar on top of theirs. I plan to make this a few different ways, replacing the blueberries with a cup of grated zucchini or carrot. I think this recipe makes a good base for several variations!


Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray muffin pans with nonstick spray containing flour (or what you like to use). Wash and dry the blueberries. In a small bowl, combine the oats, vanilla and almond milk, and let stand at room temperature for five minutes. In a medium bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; mix with a fork to blend and set aside. In a large bowl and using a hand mixer, beat the eggs, applesauce, stevia, and molasses at medium speed for 5 minutes, the mixture should be slightly foamy. Blend in the oat-almond milk 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.
