Recipe: Low Fat Apple Muffins (using whole wheat flour and oats, food processor)

LOW FAT APPLE MUFFINS

"This is my own recipe. They're yummy. Even skinny people like them."

2 medium apples (I like Golden Delicious)
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup uncooked oats (Quaker Old Fashioned or any other rolled oats)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup fat free milk (vegans can substitute 1 cup water)
3/4 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp vegetable oil*

Chop apples very fine in a food processor. Add the dry ingredients; mix well. Add the liquid ingredients; mix just until blended. You can do it all in the food processor if it is big enough.

Spray a standard-size muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Fill cups just to the top.

Bake at 375 to 400 degrees F for 40-50 minutes.

Since they are low fat, they will not keep more than a day or two at room temperature, so keep the excess in the freezer.

*You can omit the oil for even lower fat but the muffins will have a chewy texture.

Makes about 16 muffins
