Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins


Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins






















Hi friends!  Happy Monday!
What a beautiful weekend we had here in Virginia.  Our weekend was pretty low key,
which was fine by me.  Saturday I cleaned like a mad woman, washing rugs, comforters,
and even the living room carpet.  It was nice having the windows up to help air dry the
carpet.  After working around the house all day, we went out for dinner to our favorite
Italian restaurant and it was delicious as usual.  Vito's never disappoints!

Sunday we got together with my brothers, their wives and kids at my parents farm and
helped bring down firewood for my parents to burn this winter.  My mom cooked us all
a huge dinner of fried chicken, baked ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, peas,
garden salad, rolls, and several desserts.  It was so yummy!!

I also tried a new muffin recipe over the weekend, which turned out really good!  I combined
my favorite oats with King Arthur white whole wheat flour, Stonyfield yogurt, brown
sugar, spices and chocolate chips to make Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins.  I love taking
muffins to work in my lunch bag, they make a perfect mid-morning snack!

Dreamfarm tablespoons





















I used my handy Dreamfarm Levoons to measure the baking soda, baking powder, and
cinnamon.  I just love those measuring spoons! I also received a Silpat, which I use
all of the time.  It is perfect for baking cookies that don't stick to the pan!

I topped the muffins with a crispy streusel made up of rolled oats, brown sugar, coconut oil
and mini chocolate chips.  I'm going to freeze most of the muffins and then take one out of
the freezer each morning before I leave for work.  They should be defrosted by mid-morning.
If not, just pop one in the microwave for about 30 seconds or so.

Enjoy!
