Another attempt at making a delicious muffin while keeping the calories a little lower I tried these as a follow up to the very successful Apple & Oatmeal Cookies. Myself and the children really liked them but my husband isn’t a fan of cranberries so wouldn’t even try them, oh dear that means we get 4 each not 3 ?
Ingredients:
140g Rolled Oats (Porridge Oats)
85g Plain Flour
85g Plain Wholemeal Flour
50g Caster Sugar tsp
2 ½ tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp Nutmeg
½ tsp Salt
250ml Water
125ml Sunflower Oil
125ml Apple Sauce
2 Eggs
40g Cranberries (I had a packet of the ready to eat ones in the house)
Method:
Preheat oven to Gas mark 4 and either spray a 12 hole muffin tin with a cooking spray or use muffin cases (so much easier).
Put oats, flours, sugar, baking powder, spices, and salt in a bowl.
Then in a separate bowl whisk water, oil, apple sauce, and eggs until well mixed.
Next add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and add cranberries and mix well.
Place the mixture into muffin cases, (mine made 12 decent sized muffins). Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes until the tops are lightly browned and a skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4 muffins each and not 3 is not bad at all lol 🙂 These look great. Perfect for breakfast, with tea. I’m not very good at making recipes lower calorie, I figure I’ll just compensate by working out or eating a salad later haha so I love finding recipes that are lower calorie versions!
Healthy combination for my healthy diet. Now I can satisfy my sweet tooth. 🙂
These sound really healthy and yummy. Muffins are great to grab and go for breakfast or for a snack.
These sound great! I love a good cranberry muffin!
Yum! I love healthy recipes like this!
Healthy and yummy! Love it!
I love the tartness of cranberry in baked goods- it is such a good balancer for the sweet stuff.
These sound like the perfect grab and go breakfast!
