Oatmeal Blueberry Applesauce Muffins




Oatmeal Blueberry Applesauce Muffins


Makes 12-15 muffins

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cups oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk (I used the Powdered Buttermilk I had on hand.  For this recipe, it converts to 2 1/8 Tbsp Powdered Buttermilk and 1/2 cup water.  Add the Powdered Buttermilk with the dry ingredients and the water with the wet.)
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp canola oil
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper cups or spray with nonstick cooking spray. I had enough paper liners for 12 muffins, but had enough muffin mix for 18.  So I sprayed my other tin with floured nonstick cooking spray (Bakers Joy) and it worked great!  I will probably use this method from now on, at least with these muffins.  You don't need to worry about them sticking to the paper this way and you can enjoy every last morsel. 

In a large bowl combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a medium bowl combine applesauce, buttermilk, sugar, oil and egg. Make a well in dry ingredients and add applesauce mixture. Stir until just moist. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.

Bake for 16-18 minutes.
