Oat Bran Muffins POINTS® Value | 3 Servings | 12 Preparation Time | 25 min Cooking Time | 15 min Level of Difficulty | Easy breakfast | This recipe, courtesy of Great Cooking Every Day by Weight Watchers and The Culinary Institute of America, uses dried fruit to add sweetness and a chewy texture to these moist, golden-brown muffins. Ingredients: 1 1/4 cup dried mixed fruit, coarsely chopped 1 cup uncooked old fashioned oats 3/4 cup uncooked oat bran 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour 3 Tbsp packed light brown sugar 5 tsp baking powder 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 cup fat-free skim milk 1/4 cup orange juice, fresh 2 large egg white(s) 2 Tbsp vegetable oil 3/4 large banana(s), or 1 medium, mashed 2 tsp orange zest

Directions: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with foil or paper liners. Combine the dried fruit, rolled oats, oat bran, flour, banana, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is just blended, then transfer to a bowl. Combine the milk, orange juice, egg whites, oil, and orange zest in another bowl. Add the milk mixture to the dried fruit mixture; stir just until blended. Spoon the batter into cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake until surface of the muffins are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed, or until a toothpick inserted in a muffin comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool on a rack 10 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
