Healthy Muffins
These muffins are really high in both fiber and protein and low in fat, which makes them the ultimate breakfast-on-the-go food! Start your day with a nutritional punch. They're sure to light your fiber.
Ingredients
- 3 cup(s) Fiber One cereal
- 2 tablespoon(s) ground flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon(s) cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon(s) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup(s) applesauce (or one little pot)
- 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup(s) tea (or water or skim milk)
- 3/4 cup(s) low fat cottage cheese (or yogurt)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
- In a large bowl combine the applesauce, tea, and cereal and leave to soak for 10 minutes.
- Stir occasionally.
- Cereal should start to feel heavy and squishy.
- In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer on a low-to-medium speed mix the cereal mixture until it is fairly mushy, much like the consistency of mashed potatoes.
- If you are shorter on time or your hand mixer gets bogged down, try throwing the lot in the blender or food processor.
- Add the ground flax and mix well.
- Add the egg and vanilla and blend well.
- Add the remaining ingredients one by one leaving the cottage cheese until last.
- Mix well.
- Batter should be thick and fairly lumpy with a fibrous texture.
- Transfer batter to muffin pans and bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.
