This is a recipe I got from the Dr. OZ newsletter that I have signed up to receive. If you have not heard Dr OZ, here is one ardent fan’s (namely me) words on him…
I am not a fan, but a devotee of the GREAT Wizard OZ – I am OZstruck by his Ozsomeness, and following him is the most Ozpicious thing I am doing and can’t OZk for more since this makes me a student of the OZmaina universe(ity). He oOZes charm and he is OZstanding – Have I brought you into the OZone yet?– nuff said 😉
Anyway, these muffins are a recipe of Marjorie Johnson. These are packed
with, I quote, “With fiber from apricots, healthy fats from pecans (or nut in case – walnut which is very high in Omega 3) and whole grains from the oatmeal, these muffins are a great way to start the day” I subbed the pecans for the nuts in hand, walnuts and did not in anyway detract from the health benefits thus quoted.

It was a sensible treat that my kids came home to – Love the see the happiness on their face when they walk in the door, tired from a school day, carrying 40lbs back-packs (I kid you not) to find that I’ve made them a special treat – Although recently, not having a treat seems to kindle disappointment – But the caveat has always been, if I’ve made you a treat, then please treat it as one and not as a daily expectation… But you know what suckers moms are for the smile or hug of approval – So I am working harrrd! I have copied and pasted the recipe from the Dr. Oz Show website
Ingredients
Makes 12 muffins
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking power
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup canola oil
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
Place oats and buttermilk in a bowl. Stir to combine. Cover and let stand for 20-30 minutes. In a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in apricots and pecans. Add oil, egg and brown sugar to the oatmeal mixture and combine well. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the flour mixture. Stir just to moisten the dry ingredients. It will look lumpy. Divide batter into 12 greased muffin cups.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove muffins from muffin tin and cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy this goodness with friends and loved onesJ

What would happen if I used rolled oats in this recipe?? I really don't like the consistency of quick oats.
They also have no food value..in comparison to rolled variety.
I also would like to use walnuts and a variety of dried fruit which I buy:
cranberries, bing cherries, white and black raisins and blueberries
instead of apricots.
Any assistance about my rolled question would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
