Apple Oat Muffins

Found this recipe on the Internet. It is a tasty little morsel that is very filling. The original recipe was for 12 muffins, I cut it to 6. It said to shred the apple and I left it in chunks. I also substituted almonds for walnuts. 202 calories per muffin

1 cup oats
1/2 cup & 2 Tablespoons flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 & 1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup buttermilk - used less so I could use the whole egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 cup apple - I used Gala
1/4 cup almonds, chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line muffin pan with cupcake papers. In large bowl combine oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir in apple chunks and nuts.

In medium bowl beat buttermilk, oil and egg until well blended. Stir liquid into dry ingredients until moistened, batter will be very thick and lumpy.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin-pan cups. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins begin to brown and toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean. Immediately remove muffins from pan. Serve warm or cool on wire rack to serve later.
