Have you ever checked out the ingredients in a store-bought muffin?
Don’t!
Well, do, so you are informed, but just avoid store-bought muffins because the contents are frightening. Not to mention the caloric burden (like 500 calories a pop!) Same is true for “fresh-baked” muffins you buy at most coffee shops– ahem, Starbucks, I’m talking to you too.
Luckily for us all, I’ve got a screaming good recipe for some seriously good muffins AND they’re wicked good FOR you too! Add some chocolate chips if you’re need more sweets this season!

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups gluten-free oats
1 egg, hormone free, cage free chickens, of course
1/2 cup walnuts *
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup coconut sugar (can sub brown sugar or date sugar)
3/4 cup Maple syrup
1/8 cup butter, softened
