Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins (that happen to be low fat)

Yes, this may be my most successful low fat muffin.  I have a great love of whole grains, oatmeal, starches that tend to be a little heartier.  And of course, I love muffins.  I like that they're portable, small, and really very adorable.  I honestly couldn't tell that they were low fat, due to the non-fat yogurt and applesauce that worked to replace the butter.  I recommend using steel cut or old-fashioned oats for this recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh blueberries

1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour

1 1/4 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup non-fat yogurt

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend (or 1/2 cup regular brown sugar, packed)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (optional)

1. preheat over to 375

2. sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together

3. stir in oats into flour mixture

4. in a separate mix the egg, brown sugar, applesauce, yogurt, and the oil (if you'd like)

5. add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moist

6. add the blueberries and mix gently so as not to break any of the blueberries

7. line and fill the muffin tins with about a ice cream scoop amount of batter

8. bake for 20 minutes
