I used a recipe I got from one of the WW meetings a few weeks ago. I am not the biggest fan of oatmeal just as oatmeal but I love to eat it in a different form, such as a muffin. Also I can sort of pretend the muffin is cake and I love cake!
First I mixed the recipe. I don't have my silicone cupcake liners yet ( I just ordered some from Amazon) so I decided to use the paper muffin/cupcake liners. I was so nervous using them because I was afraid of starting a fire, but everything went fine. I am still going to wait till I get my silicone cupcake molds in the mail for the next time. 🙂
Also the recipe says to use mini muffin pans but of course I did not have those.
Next I set my temp for 350° and the time for 10 minutes. I really was afraid of starting a fire with the paper liners so I kept checking my muffins about every 2 minutes. After about 4 minutes I decided I needed to turn the temp down because they were browning on top but not cooking in the middle. I turned it to 315°. This really seemed to help stop the tops from browning.
When they were finished I took them out (use tongs or something because they were hot!) And this is what I got.
Not very pretty right?
So I am pretty impatient and did not want to let them cool before I tried one. The muffin stuck to the liner 😕.
Again not very pretty!
Even though it was not as pretty as I would have liked I ate it anyway. I must say they were very good. I do think next time I will start the heat at 315°. Let them cook for about 8 minutes then turn the heat up to 350° to brown the top (if it needs it).
So for looks I would give myself a thumbs down, but for taste I get a thumbs up!
So here is the recipe. I used Weight Watchers oatmeal but I am sure you could use whatever oatmeal you have on hand.
Weight Watchers Strawberry Banana Muffins (3pts for all!!!)
1 container WW strawberry oatmeal
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 mashed ripe banana
1 egg white (or 3 tbsp liquid egg whites)
Combine ingredients and mix well. Spoon into mini muffin pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 14 minutes in regular oven or 315 for 10 minutes in air fryer (I have a Nuwave Air Fryer).
(this recipe is from a WW meeting and not my own)
Please note: I have a Nuwave Air Fryer you may have to adjust for your air fryer.
