How do you count this?

I just purchased the new SB book - SUPERCHARGED.  There is a recipe in here that I just can't figure out how to count.  I know it is a grain, but I must be missing something because I can't see how it meets the guidelines.


 


WHOLESOME OAT MUFFINS


3/4 c. plus 2T. rolled oats


1 1/4 c. whole-grain flour


1 1/2 t. baking powder


1/2 t. baking soda


1/4 t. cinnamon


1/4 t. salt


2/3 c. chopped walnuts


1/3 c. granular brown sugar substitute


1/3 c. canola oil


1 lrg. egg, beaten


1 t. vanilla


 


NI:  Makes 12 servings


Per serving:  179 calories, 11 gr. fat, 4g protein, 18 g carbohydrate, 2g. fiber


 


What is the grain count in each muffin?  I know that 1/4c. of the oatmeal would be a grain.  I don't know how much whole wheat flour is a grain.  One muffin doesn't meet the 3g fiber requirement.  Seems like eating more than one of these would be a lot of calories.  Each muffin has more than 1t. of oil in each one, so I would need to consider that also.


 


I do wish that the recipes included just how to count each serving.

I was mainly confused because the fiber content doesn't meet the guidelines for a grain.
