Blueberry Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins

These muffins are low-fat and packed full of fruit and whole grains. Plus they taste delicious! They are very moist and not too sweet. They actually remind me of blueberry crumble, especially when eaten warm with a little butter and a cold glass of milk! We love them for breakfast on the go.

I hope you try these, at only 150 calories per delicious treat you won't be sorry!



Makes 12 large muffins

Ingredients

• 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
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 2 tbsp canola or coconut oil
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup blueberries

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper cases or spray with nonstick cooking spray. I simple greased and floured a muffin pan, saving the paper.
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.
