Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins Gluten Free

This recipe came from a magazine article in the 1980's.  It has been a family favorite for years.  It is easy to use regular all purpose flour in place of gluten free version here.  They are filling and great to take with you for a snack or for breakfast.

2/3 C Quick Oats
1 C Boiling Water
4 Tblsp Butter
1/2 C Brown Sugar

Pour Boiling Water over Oats Sugar and Butter

Let the mixture cool to just warm.  This allows the oats to soften.

Add:
2 Eggs (room temperature is better)
1 tsp vanilla

Now add the dry ingredients:
1 Tbsp Cake Enhancer
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 C Oat Flour
3/4 C All purpose Gluten Free Flour ( I use Cup4Cup)

I love cinnamon - and my favorite is vietnamese - it is spicy and fragrant!

Add 1/2-3/4 Cup Chocolate Chips  -you can use semi-sweet, dark, or milk- or a mix.  Whatever makes you happy!

Optional
Add 1/2- 3/4 Cup chopped nuts- I love pecans in this recipe but use your favorite.

This will make 6 super jumbo muffins - I use a half cup measuring cup to measure fill the muffin cups.

 or you can do regular size - this recipe makes 12-18 depending on how full you want the muffin tins.   A cookie scoop works well for this.

I use paper liners for muffins because it is easier - but you can grease the muffin tins with butter or spray oil too.

Bake at 400 Degrees for 18- 22 minutes until brown on top and a tooth pick inserted in the muffin comes out clean.

They are yummy served warm - but also great at room temperature.

Enjoy!
