Healthy Oat Flour Chocolate Muffins
If you are a dark chocolate lover, these muffins are for you! They remind me of a moist chocolate cake. The mix of oat flour and almond flour creates the perfect texture. The deep chocolate color comes from the cacao powder. Cacao powder is a great source of iron, magnesium and potassium. I recommend using cacao powder over cocoa powder in any baked good recipe.

Can I use almond meal instead of almond flour?
Almond flour has a finer texture. I don't recommend using almond meal.

Has anyone tried flax eggs or another egg substitute? I know there are a lot of already vegan options out there, but this one looks so good, I'm tempted.
I personally have not.
