Wholesome Oat Muffins
3/4 cup + 2 tbs. oats
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup brown sugar substitute
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup canola oil
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 425.
In a small bowl combine the 3/4 cup of oats and the buttermilk. Let soak while you prepare the following.
In a medium bowl combing the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, sugar substitute and walnuts. Make a well in the center and add the oil, beaten egg, and vanilla. Combine with dry ingredients until a batter forms. (It's really more dough like.)
Divide the batter into 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tbs. of oats over the muffins. Bake for 11 to 15 minutes. Eat while warm with fake butter!
I forgot the oats on top so mine got a little too brown. I also didn't have brown sugar substitute and just used regular Splenda. Matt liked them so much he didn't believe they were on the diet!
