Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I was pretty excited when these came out of the oven and I gave them my first bite...which turned into eating two of them. These are very delicious, pretty healthy and the chocolate chips are just enough to sweeten them up and cure your chocolate craving.




Ingredients:
2.5 cups old fashioned oats (pulse in food processor or blender until smooth)

1 cup plain low fat greek yogurt

2 eggs

1/2 cup honey

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 C flax meal


2 ripe bananas (mash with a fork before adding to bowl)

1/4 C. almond or regular milk

1 tsp vanilla

1 Tbs cinnamon


1/2 C chocolate chips 

Other add ins:  blueberries or nuts



Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray tin with non-stick cooking spray or line 12 muffin tins with silicone or foil liners.
2. Place the oats in the food processor and pulse for about 10 seconds.  

3. Add oat flour and remaining ingredients (except chocolate chips) to a mixer bowl. 
4. Mix everything until it is all well incorporated. Add chocolate chips.
4. Divide batter among cupcake liners, and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. (Mine took 19 minutes)
