Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp salt (use Morton's Lite Salt for lower sodium)
• 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1/4 cup honey (substituted for maple syrup)
• 3/4 cup blueberries, frozen
• 1/2 cup of flax seeds (my addition)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Spray a muffin tin with non stick spray.  In a large bow, whisk flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, flax seeds, and spices together until well combined.  Then add applesauce, sugar, and honey then stir until combined.  Add frozen blueberries, stirring until just combined.  Fill 12 muffin tins 3/4 full.  Sprinkle additional oats and a small amount of brown sugar on top.  Bake for 23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notice that I added flax seeds to this recipe.  If you are interested in learning more about the health benefits of flax seeds click here.
