They’re perfect for a weekend brunch, or for an everyday breakfast or snack! They’re bursting with chocolate chips and just so delicious.

Help, I don’t have applesauce and/or yogurt on hand!
If you don’t have applesauce or yogurt on hand, you can try using one of these substitutes for either one: mashed banana, pumpkin puree, or nut butter. Or you can simply use more applesauce or yogurt if you have one, but not the other. I haven’t made this recipe with any of those substitutes, but those are all common substitutes for applesauce and yogurt.
How do I make homemade oat flour?
To make homemade oat flour simply blend gluten free quick, old fashioned, or rolled oats in a high speed blender (or process them in a food processor). Blend/process until a flour consistency is reached. Check out this video if you want to see how I make my own oat flour!
How do I store these muffins?
I like to store these muffins in a sealed container on the counter for 3-4 days or in the fridge for 5-6 days. You can also freeze them for long term storage and get them one whenever you need one!
