MARVELOUS MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl combine flour, oats, soda, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center. In a separate bowl combine egg whites, milk, oil, honey, applesauce, and pureéd beans. Add all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moist, allowing batter to be lumpy. Line muffin tin with paper baking cups. Fill 2/3 full. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pans and serve warm. Makes 12 muffins. *If you are diabetic, suffer from a sugar allergy, or are highly resistant to fat loss, replace the honey or sugar with 1/4 cup frozen concentrated apple juice and 1/4 cup frozen concentrated pineapple juice. (Add 2 to 4 tablespoons of additional flour if batter looks too thin.) Use unsweetened applesauce. You now have an "A" Choice. **Purchase canned white beans and finely pureé them in your blender. The consistency should be like thick wall-paper paste or creamed shortening and sugar. If the consistency is too thick, add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water or liquid left over from the beans. ***I always make extra muffins and freeze them in freezer bags for quick future use. And remember, do not SNACK on grains first. Snack on veggie-based foods first to accelerate excess fat loss! Then, if you're still hungry, add in the grains, proteins, and fruits.
