Healthy Oatmeal Muffins (No Added Sugar!)

Ingredients

• 1 cup White Whole Wheat Flour
• ⅓ cups Almond Meal
• 1 cup Quick Cooking Oats (old Fashioned Will Work Too)
• ⅓ cups Unsweetened Applesauce
• 1  Large Banana, Peeled And Mashed
• 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
• ¼ teaspoons Salt
• 2 Tablespoons Flax Seed Meal
• 1 cup Vanilla Protein Powder (optional)
• 1 cup Shredded Coconut, Toasted
• 1  Egg, Lightly Beaten
• 1 cup Almond Milk (regular Milk Will Work Just Fine Too!)
• ¼ cups Coconut Oil, Melted
• ½ cups Chocolate Chips

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F and line a cupcake tin with paper liners or spray with non stick spray. Recipe makes roughly 15 muffins so you may need more than one tin.

In a large mixing bowl mix together all ingredients (except chocolate chips) until well combined. I put everything in the bowl and used my hand mixer for a few minutes. Then stir in chocolate chips if desired.

Use a large scoop or measuring cup and fill tins almost all the way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned and muffins bounce back slightly when you touch them. Move to cooling rack. Store in an airtight container. These are great re-heated in the microwave the next day!
