From Lean Beach Cuisine - A Collection of Healthy Coastal Recipes by Jewel Cammarano, I've modified the original recipe, adding orange extract in place of vanilla extract. I love oranges and pecans, so this recipe just called out to me! Ingredients:
2 large egg whites (or equivalent egg substitute) |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
3 tablespoons orange juice |
1 cup skim milk (or 1% milk) |
1 tablespoon orange extract |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 tablespoon grated orange peel |
1 1/2 cups rolled oats |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare muffin tin with vegetable cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy. Add the maple syrup, orange juice, milk, extract, spices and orange peel.
3. Mix with a wooden spoon, until well blended. Stir in the oats, flour and baking powder until all ingredients are moistened. Fold in the pecans.
4. Fill 12 muffin cups about 2/3 full and bake for 20 minutes or until muffin tops are golden and spring back to the touch.
