Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins

Thanks to Stephanie of Dispensing Happiness for this recipe. They are absolutely delicious, and so easy to make. I'm not the greatest of bakers, so the fact that these turned out perfectly is a testament to the ease of the recipe.

Straight from the oven they are dense, more of a rustic type of muffin compared to those store bought sugar-filled things, and the texture is wonderful. As far as taste goes, the oatmeal gives it a rich, healthy sort of taste, which is well balanced by the sweetness of the chocolate and peanutbutter. Not too sweet, but definitely not boring.

The recipe said that it made about 24 mini-muffins. I doubled it and ended up with 12 minis, 12 regular, and (since I don't have any more muffin tins) the rest went into a loaf pan which is still in the oven. Not sure how that'll turn out. I'll take it to work. They'll eat anything. :)

Nothing like getting into the kitchen to make a girl feel like she's accomplished something. And, while Jonas was at Abuela's while I made these, they were simple enough that I probably could have accomplished them even while chasing him about the house.
