Hey all,
I made the applesauce muffins from Spark Recipies, and they turned out ok, but I have a few questions.
1. Even without the apple, my muffins were over 100 cal each, according to my calculator. Can I ask if someone can check for me on their calculators, or with a real scale/measureing cup and a packet, how much does 1 c oats weigh, and how much in calories it that. The Australian database says 451 cals, but the American ones say 311 cals. Oats are oats - they cant vary THAT much from country to country. Maybe your cups are smaller. In which case, how much oats (grams) do you use?
2. Mine were yummy, but I thought a bit dense - they should have maybe rose more. Can I just add more baking soda if I want them lighter/fluffier?
3. On Spark recipies someone said they used Special K! Was wondering how much they used cos 1 c special K is like 50g, but a cup of oats is a lot denser. Did htey really turn out nice
Thanks!!
Whoever put up this recipe, you rock. My fam&friends (non-dieters)LOVED them, even tho i undercooked them :)
