{Apple & Oatmeal Muffins}

I've been on an apple kick lately and came across this recipe. It's self-described as "healthy and low fat". I'd add "dense" and "yummy" to that.  Just looking at the ingredients you can see there are lots of goodies in these and thankfully, a lot less sugar than you usually see in recipes.

Healthy & Low Fat Apple & Oatmeal Muffins

 What You'll Need: 

1 1/2 c quick oats

1 1/2 c apple juice

2 tsp vanilla

1/2 c sugar

1 1/2 c whole wheat or spelt flour

2 tsp baking powder

2 medium apples grated

1 tsp cinnamon

4 egg whites beaten to soft peaks

apple wedges for garnish

                                                                                                                                            -

OnE: Soak oats, juice, sugar and vanilla for 30 minutes.
