Muffins NO GUILT!

     I'm always looking for ways to take the edge off a chocolate fix with minimal calories.  I'm also always looking for ways to use what I have lying around my kitchen.  I'm getting pretty good at substituting ingredients and faking recipes.  I'll admit, sometimes I make stuff I wouldn't feed my worst enemy, but a lot of the time it turns out great.  

     I was looking for a recipe that I could use greek yogurt, peanut butter, and chocolate to make a muffin with decreased calorie content.  The recipe I found looked pretty good but I changed some ingredients and used some things I had lying around to make a decent muffin.  It's not super sweet, but it's also a muffin and not a cupcake.  So there.  

The recipe is 

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup cocoa

2 tbsp oat flour

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

2 tbsp brown sugar

1/2 cup greek yogurt 

1 egg

2 tbsp honey

1/2 cup peanut butter

I combined the dry ingredients, but I had no idea what oat flour was.  Apparently, you just take oatmeal and grind it up.  This actually gives the muffins an oatmeal taste and is pretty good.  Then in a separate bowl I combined the wet ingredients.  I didn't have plain greek yogurt, so instead I used what I had.  Caramel Macchiato greek yogurt!  Yum!  Mix the two bowls together and add chocolate chips!

I baked at 425 for 5 minutes, then changed to 350 for 13 more.  This makes 9 muffins and I added water to the 3 empty muffin cups because this is suppose to help them bake more evenly.  

Turned out great.  Chocolatey, peanut buttery, with an oatmeal finish.
