Ingredients
  • 1 cup Quick or old-fashioned oatmeal
  • 1 1/2 cups Flour
  • 1 1/4 cups Processed cheese food -- shredded
  • 3 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt -- optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper -- coarsely ground
  • 1/2 pound Bacon -- cooked & crumbled
  • 1/3 cup Oil
  • 1/4 cup Egg substitute
  • 1 cup Skim milk
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oatmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
  3. 3
    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the oil, egg substitute, and skim milk until smooth.
  4. 4
    Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just moistened; do not overmix.
  5. 5
    Gently fold in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. 6
    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. 7
    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. 8
    Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
