Oatmeal Banana Breakfast Muffins

I found this recipe on Pinterest, made them, LOVED them. BUT, when I went to make them a second time, the post had been removed!! RUDE! I found another recipe that I think was the same, made them, LOVED them. So, I am now reposting the recipe here so it doesn't disappear again! Here is the original link so I don't get in trouble for stealing it: http://www.welltraveledwife.com/2012/09/oatmeal-banana-breakfast-muffins.html



Ingredients
2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats (not quick)
1 cup plain low fat greek yogurt (I have used Danon Oikos vanilla and banana cream 5.3 oz container, also tried Chobani but didn't like it as much as the Oikos)
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 ripe bananas (I have used 1 1/2)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease muffin tin with shortening (I used butter flavored) or cooking spray or line with liners.

2. Place all ingredients except oats in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Add oats 1/2 cup at a time and blend until smooth after each addition (this is how I have to do it with my wimpy blender, if you have a nice one, you could probably add the oats with the other ingredients).

3. Divide batter into 12 muffins (they will be very full) and bake for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

***Be sure to watch them closely in the oven, because depending on altitude, baking time may be a little less.***

Thank you to "The Well Traveled Wife" for saving the day!

Low Fat Strawberry Dessert



Ingredients

Yellow cake mix
1 1/3 cups water
1/3 cup applesauce
4 egg whites

Light Cool Whip

1 pound strawberries

Mix cake, water, applesauce and egg whites as directed on cake box. Bake 40-45 minutes at 350 in 11" x 15" pan (or until toothpick in middle comes out clean). Cool. Cut off crust. Cut remaining cake into 1" squares.

Slice strawberries lengthwise.

Layer 1/2 the cake, 1/2 the strawberries, and 1/2 Cool Whip (I used the small Cool Whip but would recommend either two containers or one large container). Repeat layers leaving out 2 strawberries (sliced) for garnish on top of the Cool Whip. Enjoy!
