    Healthy Oat Flour Chocolate Muffins - Only three grams of sugar in these scrumptiously soft and fluffy muffins!

    Healthy chocolate muffins with oat flour

    We have what are deemed 'treat days' in our home.

    These days allow the kids to get into the kitchen and make their own single serve dessert. Mug cakes, cookies, milkshakes, and hot chocolate are some of the regular picks!

    The girls' each have a blog now, so here are a couple of my favorites from them:

    Natalie's Gingerbread Cookies

    Jade's Sunbutter Cookie For One

    Treat days are a great way for all of us to bond, while simultaneously making something yummy to eat! The main caveat for the kids is that they can't use more than one tablespoon of sugar.

    I'm not sure I remember when or how this all started, but the kids all look forward to these special days.

    To buffer the disappointment that comes with a 'non-treat day', I'll often try out something new for the blog.

    These chocolate muffins have been in the queue for a while now. I finally got a thumbs up approval from all four kids last week, so now I can happily share here.

    One of my goals with these muffins was to cram in some protein. That comes in the form of added eggs and yogurt, as well as oat flour.

    Among oat flour's many attributes is that it's higher in protein than some others, like sorghum or rice. It also boasts a good amount of fiber, all the while being mighty tasty!
