The time has come again for another low calorie, healthy baked good. :) One thing I do love about fall is the food. I love apples, spices and most of all, pumpkin. I've really been in the mood for some sort of fall inspired flavorful breakfast item. I ended up deciding on apple cinnamon and oatmeal muffins. These muffins are very moist, low calorie, and hearty. They go great with a cup of coffee or maybe even a pumpkin spice latte. :) These muffins clock in at about 170 calories per muffin.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 6 oz. container light vanilla yogurt. (i used tillamook light/non fat in vanilla bean.)
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1 cup light brown sugar or 1/2 cup splenda brown sugar blend for baking. you choice. (splenda has fewer calories, obviously.)
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup peeled and diced Granny Smith apple (roughly 1 large apple)
