I love baking with oat flour...and chocolate...but that one's a given, right? 😉 These muffins look so incredibly chocolaty! Love that there is no refined sugar too! Yum! 🙂

Chocolate muffins are the best kind of muffins! These look amazing. Can't wait to try them!
Morgan Eisenberg
You had me at "double chocolate". These look so good! I'd love to have them on hand for breakfast on busy mornings. Might have to bake up a batch!
Maggie
If you use only oat flour instead of oat flour & oats would you just double the flour?
Stephanie
Hi Maggie, I haven't tried them like that so not sure how the texture would be. The oats give the muffins a little more texture and this is Why I chose to make them like this. I would suggest you try just upping the oat flour by 1/2 cup....So 1 1/2 cups of oat flour. Let me know if you try this and how it works out for you. 🙂

Oatmeal muffins sound wonderful - and I have to try cocoa in muffins! Somehow, I never have...

I am like you when it comes to cheese. Being vegetarian I use that as an excuse to eat more cheese as my protein source 🙂 My MIL is here with us now and she is a big chocolate fan, She would be very excited to eat these chocolate muffins. They will make a great after school snack!

My kids would think I'd gone crazy (and be happy about it) if I served them chocolate muffins! No need to tell them about the oatmeal.... lol.

Lord Byron's Kitchen
Yep! This one is a hit for sure! Last night, just before bed time, I was scrolling through Pinterest and I saw this recipe. I read it and now I'm reading it again. I got these great new muffin tin liners in my stocking for Christmas this past year and I'm dying to use them, but I need to find the right recipe to highlight the liners. Does that make me sound sad? LOL. I think I found the right recipe - looks delicious!
Stef
Thanks Byron! And the muffin liners work great!
Just Jo
Ooo I think I know what I'll be baking for my coeliac dad this weekend! These muffins look great 😀
Stef
Thanks! They are really easy to make and were sooo good! Definitely satisfied my chocolate cravings 🙂
Amy Katz from Veggies Save The Day
Chocolate chips definitely make everything better! Are these silicone muffin cups that you use? Or are they paper inside a muffin tin?
Stef
Yes they do Amy 🙂 And these are silicone muffin cups. Probably the best purchase I've made in a while. So easy to remove from pan and nothing sticks so clean up is a breeze 🙂
Thanh | Eat, Little Bird
I love chocolate and oatmeal in cookies, so they must be just as delicious in a muffin!
strawberryblondiekitchen
Me and cheese are BFF's! LOL! I love using dark chocolate chips when baking as it adds such an intense chocolate flavor and you can use less of it!
Stef
Thanks Cheyanne! Cheers to Cheese and White Chocolate!! I could totally eat them together 🙂
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary
I'm a sucker for cheese too, girlfriend! I'm unfortunately allergic to cocoa, but I can have white chocolate! So you can bet I'll be making these marvelous muffins with white chocolate instead! LOVE the oatmeal in here! Looks delish! Cheers!
linda spiker
I am a sucker for chocolate! Love that this recipe has no refined sugar.
Sarah @ Champagne Tastes
My chocolate chips are still hidden in the back of a cabinet for one more week. I'm going to be good at least until then. Then I'll start cooking with chocolate again.. NOMS
valmg @ From Val's Kitchen
You know I am just realizing I have had oatmeal and chocolate chips in cookies but never in muffins. They look wonderful!
