Help, I don’t have oat flour!

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
- While the oven is preheating, whisk together all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 prepared muffin cups (if your muffin cups are really large, use only 10 cups). Place the muffins in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- Once baked, let the muffins cool before removing from the muffin tins. Allow the muffins to cool completely before storing.
