Whole Wheat and Oat Apple Cranberry Muffins


Makes 12-16 Muffins

Ingredients

1 large egg
1/4 cup grapeseed or other healthy oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup Steviacane
1 1/2 cups low fat buttermilk

In a large bowl, whisk egg and oil until smooth. Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, Steviacane, buttermilk, orange juice and whisk smooth.

Add oats and let batter sit for 10 minutes to soften oats. After 10 minute rest, combine whole wheat flour and baking soda and mix into batter using a spatula.

Fold in apple pieces and cranberries. Fill muffin pans 3/4 full. Do not overfill as this may cause poor rising.
