Wholesome Oat Muffins
Makes 12 muffins
Description
These healthy muffins are so delicious you’ll want to enjoy them for breakfast every day. Make a double batch and freeze half for later.
Ingredients
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons oats
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour or whole grain flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup canola oil
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup brown sugar substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Coat a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper baking cups.
In a small bowl, combine 3⁄4 cup of the oats and the buttermilk. Let soak for 30 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and walnuts.
In a large bowl, stir together the oil, egg, brown sugar substitute, and vanilla until well blended. Stir in the oat mixture. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons oats over the muffins. Bake for 11 to 15 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes.
Remove to the rack to cool completely.

They come out very moist compared to the blueberry bran recipe.
I couldn't find brown sugar substitute, though. What does it look like and where in the store do you find it?
I used Splenda instead and I think I'd use more of it next time.
I added some cut-up frozen cherries. I think I'll add some orange zest also next time.
Thanks for sharing this!

Rebecca,
Thanks for the review!
Just like Splenda, Whey Low is made from real sugar and safe for use, but in my opinion, it tastes a hundred times better. It can be ordered online at www.wheylow.com.
