Different ways to change up this recipe: 

• Slice one of these muffins in half, place in a small bowl, and microwave for 30 seconds. Drizzle on some PB2 and a tiny bit of honey or sugar free syrup for added sweetness, and you’ve got a healthy, sweet treat to snack on after dinner. 
• PB2 can be substituted (once you make the wet form) and it will lower the points. You can even use extra to drizzle over the top of the muffins. 
• Switch up the chocolate flavor by using white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips! Lily’s No Sugar Added chocolate brand has a salted caramel flavor that would be so good in these muffins. 

Tips and Tricks for Making Peanut Butter Chocolate Oatmeal Muffins: 

• You can use any brand of oats that you like. I do not recommend steel cut oats – the texture isn’t right for the muffins. If you have rolled oats, I suggest giving them a whir in the food processor or blender to turn them into quick oats. Quick oats give a smaller texture – closer to flour. 
• Keep these peanut butter chocolate oatmeal muffins stored in the fridge. You can microwave them for 10 seconds to reheat them. 
• Muffins freeze well, just put them in a large ziploc freezer bag once they’re cool.
