Kashi Friendly Fiber Muffins

These muffins taste incredible and are packed with 3 grams of fiber each, hardly any fat and only 1 weight-watcher 'point' a piece! Very good for you and great tasting.


Kashi Friendly Fiber Muffins
-----------------------------
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 + 3/4 cups kashi good friends cinna-raisin crunch cereal (or you can substitute another type of kashi cereal)
3/4 cup skim milk (can substitute soy milk)
1/4 cup honey
2 egg whites
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 medium ripe banana, mashed

Spray 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine cereal and milk and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the honey and egg whites and beat well (there will still be chunks, that's OK). Stir in applesauce and banana until combined. Stir in flour mixture just until combined (overmixing will cause muffins to be tough). Bake in muffin tins at 375 degrees 20-25 minutes or until muffin springs back lightly when touched. Makes 12 muffins, each muffin is 100 calories, 0.5g fat, 3g fiber, 1 weight-watcher point.
