Chocolate Walnut Muffins made from Oats and Greek Yogurt

As you might assume, I love oats. They are a healthy and easy substitute for almost any recipe. In this certain recipe, I used them to make chocolate walnut muffins! They were delicious- you wouldn't have guessed they were healthy!

Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cup oats
- 3 egg whites
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 cup sugar substitute OR 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons stevia
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup walnuts

Directions:
- preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line muffin pans with either spray or muffin cups
- In a blender or food processor, blend all the ingredients together except the chocolate and walnuts. Blend until the mixture is smooth
- Place mixture in a bowl and stir in the chocolate chips
- Chop the walnuts
- Place the muffin mix in the pans and sprinkle the chopped up walnuts on top
- Place in oven and cook for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean

Cheers!
