Super Oatmeal Muffins

I've been meaning to share this recipe for months now, but things have been a little crazy around here with a new baby!

Anyway, I absolutely love this muffin recipe because you get to choose how healthy they are and can adjust flavors/add-ins as you please! 

My boys loved these and I loved that they were actually eating something healthy. And a few chocolate chips never hurt anybody, right? ;)
