Whole Wheat, Oatmeal, and Raisin Muffins.
I have a ton of oatmeal from a previous Giant Eagle sale and searched for good, healthy recipes to make some oatmeal muffins. I often need something quick in the morning. I want something filling that is Weight Watcher Friendly.
I found the following recipe from Cooking Light and with a few adaptations I love them. They are 4 WW points, but they include a healthy oil which I am guilty of not getting in most of the time.
Whole Wheat, Oatmeal and Raisin Muffins. – 12 servings (serving size: 1 muffin)
1 cup whole wheat flour (about 4 3/4 ounces)
1/4 cup granulated sugar (I used 1/8 cup splenda and 1/8 cup sugar)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar (I used splenda brown sugar)
2 tablespoons untoasted wheat germ
2 tablespoons wheat bran (I didn’t have any so I used ground flax seeds instead)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/3 cup chopped pitted dates (I used dried apricots)
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1 cup low-fat buttermilk (I used skim milk and 1 T vinegar)
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup boiling water
Cooking spray
