Category: Muffins

1/2 cups oatmeal (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1 cup flour
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup raisins
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda and ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg and salt
3/4 cup applesauce
1/3 cup apple juice or milk
2 egg whites or 1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup oatmeal (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)

Heat oven to 400. Line twelve medium muffin cups with paper baking cups or spray bottoms only with non-stick cooking spray. In large bowl, combine 11/2 cups oats, flour, sugar, raisins, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; mix well.

In small bowl, combine applesauce, apple juice, egg whites and oil; blend well. Add to dry ingredients all at once; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. (Do not over mix.) Fill muffin cups almost full. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup oats evenly over batter, patting gently. Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool muffins in pan on wire rack 5 minutes. Remove from pan. Serve warm
