I found this recipe and it's the closest thing to a muffin that I ever made!
If you use applesauce it's not quite as good unless you spread some SF maple syrup on it :) But the pumpkin is THE best, even my girls love them :love:

Yields 8 muffins (2 servings)

3/4 Cup oatmeal (dry)
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon (if making pumpkin muffins 1 tsp. pumpkin spice)
1/2 Cup spoonable splenda
1 scoop protein powder (I use designer whey french vanilla)
6 egg whites
1/2 tsp. extract (whatever flavor you would like, I use vanilla)
1/2 Cup fat free cottage cheese (I use 2% CC because otherwise the muffins stick too much in the pan)
1/3 Cup *apple sauce (if making pumpkin use the same amount of natural canned pumpkin)

In a blender or food processor, mill all dry ingredients (1st 6 ingredients) until it looks like flour. Pour the dry ingredients into a separate mixing bowl.
Use the blender/food processor to blend cottage cheese until creamy. Then add the egg whites, *apple sauce and extract to the blender and blend until mixed. (DO NOT blend too long once you add the eggs as you do NOT want air in the egg whites or your muffins will deflate after cooking.) Pour blended liquid on top of dry mixture and stir just until blended. Pour into muffin tin. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 min.

My oven must cook hot because mine are done in 15 min. Also if making apple sauce muffins I came out with 10 muffins. The pumpkin muffins made 8 perfect muffins.
