Almond Joy Oat Muffins

 

It's the season of Halloween...which means Halloween candy is EVERYWHERE! 🎃🍬🍫

I decided to update my banana oat muffin to an old favorite candy of mine....Almond Joy!

I first tried this recipe 3 years ago (to the day to be exact!) However I made a few changes to the recipe and I think you will enjoy it! Who knows, maybe I'll try to mimic another candy in my next oat muffin recipe. 

Almond Joy Oat Muffins

Ingredients:

~2 cups whole oats (blended to flour like consistency

~1/2 tsp salt

~1 tsp baking soda

~2 ripe bananas

~2 eggs

~1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce    

~2 Tbsp honey

~1 tsp almond extract

~1 serving size container Chobani Coconut yogurt

~1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut

~Dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Line and spray 12 cup muffin tin; set aside. Blend oats into flour-like consistency and add salt and baking soda; combine. In separate bowl add bananas (mashed), applesauce, honey, extract, eggs and yogurt (or pulse all ingredients in blender or food processor). Fold dry and wet ingredients together, then fold in flaked coconut. Fill muffin tin evenly and press 4-5 chocolate chips into each muffin.  Optional to sprinkle tops with additional coconut flakes. Bake 12-15 minutes or until center is done.

Enjoy!!
