Breaking Fast

I'm trying to get into the habit of actually making my family a healthy breakfast instead of saying, "there's cereal and bread for toast in the cupboard." In order to accomplish this task it has to be fast to make, easy to clean up, and eagerly accepted by the taste buds of my tribe. I adapted this recipe from one I found on Spark People:


Make-ahead Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins
( this is the original recipe)

1 cup old fashioned oatmeal
1 cup 1% milk (any variety will do)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup Sucanat (brown sugar will work fine)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt (or regular salt)
1 tsp. cinnamon

Mix all ingredients together and put in the refrigerator over night. In the morning, heat the oven to 400 degrees while putting the batter into a greased muffin tin. Bake for 20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
