Ingredients
- 2 Cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 1 1/2 Cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- 1/4 Cup + 2 Tbsp Truvia
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar for sprinkling on top
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 Cup Fat Free Organic Milk
- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1/4 Cup Safflower Oil
- 1/2 Cup Reduced Sugar Craisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and prep muffin pan with liners, nonstick spray, or nothing if you’re using the Demarle nonstick flexible mold.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients EXCEPT for the brown sugar & Craisins.
- In a small bowl, stir together the wet ingredients.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing while adding.
- Fold in the Craisins and stir until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Spoon the mixture into your muffin pan, filling up each cup entirely. These won’t rise up a whole lot, so don’t worry!
- Sprinkle the top of each muffin with a little bit of brown sugar. It just provides that hint of sweetness as you bite in.
- Bake for 20 – 22 min (maybe a little less if you’re using a 24-cup tin), or unless a toothpick comes out clean.
