Cinnamon Apple Fritters: only 23 calories each!

                                                                            

- 1 cup finely chopped oats

- 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon

- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 

- pinch of sea salt

- 2 tablespoon of truvia (or any other natural sweetener)

- 1 egg

- 1/3 cup skim milk

- 1 finely chopped apple

Sift together the oats, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder. add milk, egg, and truvia; beat until batter is smooth. fold in chopped apple. drop by teaspoonfuls into hot oil (grapeseed oil is the best for frying and much healthier than yucky processed oils like canola) about 370 degrees and at least 2 1/2 to 3 inches deep and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes, until nicely browned. drain well on paper towels. serve warm, with honey or maple syrup if desired. they are only 23 calories each, super healthy, and delicious enjoy!

 - 2/3 cup frozen spinach  
 - 2/3 cup mushrooms sliced (fresh or frozen) 
 - 2/3 cup of broccoli sliced (fresh or frozen) 
 - 1 tomato chopped 
 (you could use any veggies you want these are my favorites personally)


preheat oven for 350 degrees 

In a large bowl beat eggs well. Lightly mix in other ingredients. In a greased muffin pan, pour each cup about 3/4 full (i used a large serving spoon) bake for 25-30 min. Let cool for 10-15 min. Now you have breakfast for the whole week and only 133 calories each! They last about a week in the fridge and do great frozen too. Enjoy! :)
