move em out muffins - apple, pumpkin and savory

1 1/3 cup whole wheat flour (get it from the bins at wholefoods/sprouts etc if you don't have any)
3/4 cup oatmeal - thick cut or at least not instant if you can
1/6 cup sugar
1/6 cup Splenda (I just grab a 1/3 cup and pour Splenda in then top with sugar)
1/3 cup wheat germ (another one of those top of the cereal aisle things)
4 t baking powder
about 2 T apple pie spice or cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger

Mix together than add to this dry mix
1/2 cup pecans/walnuts
1 cup raisins (break them up and stir them in)
2 apples with skin fine chopped or grated (mix in well to coat also)

In second bowl mix:
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 container of baby food prunes (you can you apple sauce if that is all you have)

Mix well - make a well in the middle of the "dry" bowl and pour in the wet bowl - stir till JUST mixed - do not over stir -do not let helpful 5 yo stir

oven at 400 degrees -
spray with "pam" 20 muffin tins or line with cupcake papers and spray those - these WILL stick there  is NO fat in them
use ice cream scoop to fill muffin tins no more than 2/3 of the way full
bake 18-21 mins till done
they may not rise a whole lot but they taste really good and have TONS of fiber in them to move things right a long

for savory sub cooked meat (ham, roast beef, turkey whatever) and chunks of cheese (shreded does not work well) green onions  for the fruit (pumpkin or apple chunks - you still use the apple sauce) and nuts/raisins and instead of sweet spices used add garlic powder, italtion seasoning or an herb mix, salt and pepper and a hand full of chopped fresh parsely if you can get it


Pumpkin Muffins   preheat over to 350 degrees
spray 24 muffin tins with "pam"

mix in med bowl

1 can solid pumpkin - plain nothing added
3 eggs
3/4 cup spenda
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup apples sauce 1baby food prunes (this is the 2 oz jars or box, aprox 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup skim milk

in second bigger bowl mix

1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (if you buy a bag store in freezer it will go rancid if on the shelf to long)
1/2 cup wheat germ (top shelf by hot ceral most of the time)
2 t baking soda
1t baking powder
1/2 t salt
2 T pumpkin pie spice OR mix of 1 1/4 T cin, 1/2 t nutmeg 1/2  cloves
1 cup nuts (I prefer pecans but walnuts or slivered almonds would work also)
1 cup raisins

add wet mix to dry mix - mix together till barely mixed DO NOT OVER MIX it should have lumps
divide into greased muffin pans - about 1/2 to 2/3s full
bake 20-25 mins till done

Thanks!

your most welcome - enjoy them -they really are great - if you like to play in the kitchen just add differnt stuff and differnt spices -I know we have done an apple carmel one and a carrot cake one with carrots, rasins and nuts

Just wanted you to know that everytime I read your closing line (below) it makes me smile.  We are retired Army and I know Army wives have a very tough job and rarely are shown any appreciation for what they do for their country.  So...THANK YOU!
Home is where the army allows me to live with my husband

thank you

Marianne is that you????  What a change from your old avatar!!  Woohoo you skinny thing!!

 Thanks Danni, I think I can get most of that here except the Splenda and I can make do with other sweetener

I made the savorys the other morning - and totally forgot the splenda AND sugar - they just didn't puff as much LOL

 OK, Danni, I printed yours out but had already bought ingredients for a recipe I found on the website for FibreOne cereal. A boxed brownie mix, I got lucky and found Krusteas reduced fat, 2 cups cereal, an egg, a little oil and vanilla, 2 tsp. cinnamon. They're done now and although they aren't as tempting as regular brownies (a blessing given the trouble I've had lately with my diet), but they aren't something I'll have to force down, they have the fibre, and nice texture, so let's see how they work. Be prepared for updates on this one. Thanks ladies!
