Peanut Butter Oatmeal Muffins with Chia Seeds

Nutritious muffins with oats, peanut butter, chia seeds, and chocolate are a tasty breakfast or snack.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose or gf flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy), room temperature
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 eggs (or 2 flax eggs if vegan)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips or chunks*

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  3. In another medium bowl, whisk together the honey/syrup, peanut butter, milk, eggs, and coconut oil until smooth. You may really have to beat it to incorporate the peanut butter. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth. Fold in chia seeds and chocolate.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

These muffins are best the first day they are baked and we like to eat them with a little more peanut butter or jam on top. *Lily's Sweets makes excellent stevia-sweetened chocolate chips. Enjoy Life is a brand of tasty vegan and gluten free chocolate chips. See, chocolate can work with any diet! Gluten Free Option: Be sure to use gf oats and flour. I like King Arthur Gluten Free Flour. Vegan Option: Use 2 flax eggs and maple syrup instead of honey.
