This Recipe Serves 12

Ingredients

2 ¼ cups oat bran
¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¾ cup fat-free milk
¼ cup egg substitute (equal to 1 egg)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 medium banana, mashed
2 tablespoons dried fruit such as raisins, dates, apricots (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Mix the first four ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
  3. Combine milk, egg, and oil. Mix applesauce with mashed banana and blend with liquid ingredients. Add to dry ingredients and mix just until moistened.
  4. Pour into muffin tins that have been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Do not use paper liners, as the muffins have a tendency to stick to the paper. Bake for 15-17 minutes.

TIP: The tops of these muffins don’t brown well due to the low sugar content, but they are still moist and full of flavor!

I don't do any physical activity other than what I need to do for my usual activities, such as going to work or school, grocery shopping, or doing chores around the house.

I do some moderate exercise every day in addition to doing my usual activities. For example, I walk about 1.5 to 3 miles a day at about 3 to 4 miles an hour. Or I do something else that's moderately active.

I am very active every day in addition to doing my usual activities. For example, I walk more than 3 miles a day at about 3 to 4 miles an hour. Or I do something else that's very active.
