Heart-helper Muffins



I have found a bunch of delicious recipes in the USA Weekend insert in the Sunday paper. This one was a hit with my husband.

Oatmeal Apple Muffins

1 egg
3/4 cup fat-free half and half
3 Tbs. canola oil or olive oil
1/3 cup Splenda or sugar
1 medium apple, peeled and chopped
3/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tb. baking powder
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsps. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, beat together egg, half-and half, oil and Splenda (or sugar). In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Fold egg mixture into dry mixture, just to moisten.

Fill non-stick muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake 15 to 20 minutes.
