How many calories in the oatmeal muffins
Gina Kleinworth says
Since many of the calculators vary so greatly, we have not provided calculations until recently. We ask that readers use their preferred calculator so there isn’t a question of accuracy. We are currently working through all 3000 recipes on the site to update them with nutritional information. But it is a slow process due to a lack of manpower to do more than a couple of them at a time.

Hi, how can I replace eggs in this recipe?
Gina Kleinworth says
I haven’t tried it with this recipe. I’m assuming that you replace eggs in recipes often, and I would imagine it is just like most other recipes you would replace eggs in. 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or plain/vanilla yogurt can be used for each egg that is being replaced.

Followed the recipe exactly and agree they are delicious. Love the nutrition especially for people who find it difficult to get in daily protein.
Question: How many muffins does this recipe make – 24 regular size? AND How many muffins = 1 serving
In the nutrition section you note calories at 2071 and protein at 77g
Gina Kleinworth says
Hi there –
Yes, it is 24 regular size muffins and the serving would be 1 muffin. But can you tell me what nutrition calculator you are referring to? I didn’t include one in this post and I don’t include them in any of my posts because they vary so greatly. I’d rather readers who watch those things closely use one of their choice.
