These Whole Wheat Sugar Free Oatmeal Muffins offer a healthy approach to the common muffin.
I like that these muffins are packed with goodness too!
Whole Wheat Sugar Free Oatmeal Muffins
Baking these muffins with whole wheat flour really adds a lot to these muffins.
I can certainly see why people like their whole wheat baked goods.
Also, I like what oatmeal can bring to a recipe such as this one.
Oatmeal seems to make everything taste more moist or lush in my opinion. However, more importantly, oatmeal brings a lot of healthy benefits as it is recommended by the experts.
Because the two main ingredients in this recipe are whole wheat and oatmeal, I cannot modify this for my low carb and keto readers.
As much as I love oatmeal and adding it to my recipes, oatmeal has about 27 carbs per cup (cooked) which nets to about 23 carbs. And, we all know about the carbs that come with flour as well.
I will say that these muffins should provide you with some great energy.
That energy from the whole wheat flour and the oatmeal is the kind of energy that lasts a while too. In addition to the energy, these muffins should keep you pretty full for a while too.
However, my biggest inspiration in making these whole wheat oatmeal muffins is that I am flirting with the idea of a Mediterranean style diet.
This is a diet that places emphasis on fruits, vegetables, plant based oils such as olive oil, and whole wheat flour rather than regular white flour.
In case you have not heard the big news, I have started a new site that is devoted to the Mediterranean diet.
One my site, I share tips, ideas, and some recipes that are inspired by the Mediterranean diet. While this diet may not be the lowest in carbs, it is a sugar free diet. By 'sugar free' I mean that there is emphasis on avoiding added sugar to foods. However, eating fruit is encouraged and fruit has some delicious sweetness of its own.
As mentioned, we will be using whole wheat flour in this recipe.
Whole wheat flour is preferred to other flours because it is packed with nutrients. Those nutrients include protein, fiber, antioxidants, and B vitamins. This kind of whole and unprocessed wheat flour is also low in fat.
You can find whole wheat flour online.
Milled from 100% US Wheat
Never bleached; Never Bromated
Whole wheat flour adds fiber, vitamins, and nutrients to your recipes, but really we're in it for the taste. Milled from 100% hard wheat, this flour has a classic robust whole wheat flavor that elevates muffins, scones, and breads. With all the nutritional benefits of whole grains, this flour – America's top-selling whole wheat flour – is a pantry all-star: dark in color, rich in flavor, and healthy to boot. 14% protein content. Certified kosher. For the freshest taste, store in the freezer (though a cool, dry place works, too).
By now you probably already are aware of the benefits of eating oatmeal.
Eating oatmeal can help lower your cholesterol levels. Oatmeal can also be helpful in improving your blood sugar as well.

As mentioned, you will need whole wheat flour which you can easily find online.
Also, you will need Old Fashion Oats.
You can find Old Fashion Oats online too. These oats are sometimes called 'Rolled Oats'. Using quick oats will affect the texture as well as the end product of making these muffins. As a result, I suggest not using the quick variety of oats in this recipe.
