Yummy Low-Fat Oat Bran Muffins

[skinnyboipgh]

Here is a muffin that tastes good and has quite a bit of fiber too. They are so low-fat u can afford 2 put some natty PB on them.

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cup oat bran cereal (uncooked)
1/4 cup raisins
2 tbsp Splenda-brown sugar blend*
1 1/4 cup 1% milk
1/2 cup egg whites or egg beaters
2 tbsp applesauce**
1 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mix well.
3. Spray a muffin tin w/ Pam (butter flavor).
4. Divide up batter equally between the muffin tin cups.
5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow to cool 30 minutes before serving.

Nutrition:

Makes 12 muffins. Each muffin has:

81 calories
2g fat (0g saturated, 1g polyunsaturated, 1g monounsaturated)
18g carbohydrate
5g protein
3g fiber

Macro Profile: 20% fat, 62% carbs, 18% protein

Notes:

* If u don't have the Splenda brown sugar blend u can use 4 tbsp regular brown sugar, which adds a few more calories.

** I used the low-fat cooking trick of substituting applesauce for the oil. If you don't mind going up to 118 cal & 6g fat per muffin, you can use oil instead of applesauce & also toss in 1/4 cup chopped nuts.

They don't have any flour in them, so although they do rise some, they aren't puffy. They r fairly dense, about like a regular bran muffin.

Another comment. If u don't have a muffin tin, u can bake that batch of muffin batter in a 9"x9" square cake pan & then cut it up in2 squares. Takes a bit longer 2 bake that way.

Awesome recipe! My mom is obsessed with those bran muffins, but always gets the trashy brands at the store with 500 calories in each muffin. I was looking for a healthy recipe for her. Tried to rep you!

guys an awesome flavouring tool for muffins, is to half pack the mixture in the muffin tray then add in a tsp or so of sugar free jam (or jelly for the americans) then put in a bit more mufin mixture. This gives you a fruity surprise in the middle of your muffin and moistens it up a little
