Ingredients

4 egg whites 1/2 cup
3/4 cup Unsweetened Applesauce 190 mL
2 lemons, juiced and zested 240 g
1/4 cup canola oil 65 mL
1/4 cup milk, partly skimmed, 2% 65 mL
1/2 cup sugar 110 g
1/2 tsp salt 2 g
1 tsp baking soda 3 g
9 g poppy seeds 1 tbsp
1/2 cup rolled oats 45 g
1/2 cup almonds, ground 70 g
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour 300 g

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C/350°F. Place 12 large paper muffin cups in one or more 12 cup muffin pan. Depending on the required amount, you may have to bake in batches.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the egg whites, Unsweetened Applesauce, zest and lemon juice, oil, milk, sugar, baking soda and salt. Mix well. It's normal that the mixture foams, it's the reaction between the baking soda and lemon juice.
  3. Add the flour, ground almonds and rolled oats to the bowl and mix well. Add the poppy seeds and mix well.
  4. Using an ice cream scoop, spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
  5. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 20-25 min, until a tooth-pick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Take the pan out of the oven, then put each of the paper lined muffins on a rack to cool. Serve.
