Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins
Mmmm…I woke up with a craving for these oatmeal muffins this morning. I love them and they are so very easy to whip up in the morning for a fun but hearty and healthy breakfast. I always add walnuts to them but ran out today so I added flaxseeds instead. I recommend soaking the oatmeal in the milk for 10-15 before mixing the batter.
The kids gobble these up so fast…I love that I can use coconut oil and wheat flour and they are so tasty and filling!

Instructions
Combine oats and milk and allow to stand for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease each cup of one 12-cup muffin tin.
Stir egg, oil, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of the pecans into the oat and milk mixture.

i am trying this recipe as i write this comment, however, instead of walnuts I am using the left over almond meal from making almond milk–can’t wait to try them!
This sounds so easy! I prefer muffin recipes that use oil because it seems to yield a good crumb as well as making for easier clean up.
Now you have my attention! Two of my favorite flavors together, in one dessert! Will have to make this soon. I remember the first time I baked oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies. They were so ugly on the pan! I wanted to cry. Luckily, they ended up looking fine once they were completely baked, ha ha!
Amy that’s so funny! I absolutely LOVE oatmeal and chocolate chip anything!
I’m not usually a oatmeal fan, but maybe with the chocolate I’d like it a bit more.
