On-the-Go Oats n Apple Bites (Muffins)

On-the-Go Oats n Apple Bites

 

100g raw oats

2 TBS wholewheat flour

1 heaped teaspoon baking powder

250ml apple sauce (home made – cook 500g apples, with a generous sprinkling of cinnamon in about 500ml water until soft and water is reduced, you will use about 1/2 of this.  Store brought apple sauce is also okay, just check the added sugar content)

125ml fat free milk

10ml honey

A pinch of salt

 

Mix all ingredients together.

Pour in muffin pan and bake in pre-heated oven at 180C for 25 – 30 minutes. I topped it with chopped apple.

Makes 8 ‘muffins’ – about 1 CC, ¼ fruit and ¼ milk each.

Can be frozen.  Handy as ‘grab and go’ snacks, picnic treats, etc.

It smelled and look so yummy, our puggie boy – Gorgeous George tried to convince me to share using some emotional blackmail 🙂  I was strong enough to resist it!  😀

 

Add-in suggestions (optional): Nuts, raisins, cranberries, mashed banana (use less apple sauce), cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.

Yes, as you know – I love my overnight oats!  Quick, convenient, no fuss and VERY tasty!

I tried some new combinations:

Choco-delite: 20g raw oats, 175ml plain fat free yogurt, 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, stevia sweetener to taste. Tip – great yogurt mix-in for those days when you are craving something decadent and sweet!

Apple Pie: 20g raw oats, 175ml plain fat free yogurt, 3 Tbsp Apple Pie Sauce (recipe here https://lifeistooshorttoeatlettuce.co.za/2015/01/19/sugar-free-apple-pie-sauce/)

Try it!  You must!  🙂
