Chocolate Chip Clean Eating Oat Muffins


Can chocolate chip muffins REALLY be healthy?!

Over the past month I have indulged in a few extra treats here and there, but this month I am REALLY dialing in to my nutrition. But part of my meal plan is making healthy things that "seem" like indulgent treats. It tricks your brain a little bit so you are really not depriving yourself. Pretty great, right??

So, chocolate chip muffins...yes, definitely healthy! In moderation, of course 
