  • Chocolate Oat Muffins

    Chocolate Oat Muffins

    Chocolate Oat Muffins How about a weekend treat with these Chocolate Oat Muffins for breakfast?  They’re verrry chocolatey!  But, not too sweet – chocolate cake this is not.  Rather these muffins are a little more dense, tangy, and filling.  What I love most about these muffins is that they’re a treat, but a treat that […]
