    A super-moist chocolate oatmeal chocolate chip muffins done the skinny way. Contains all of the flavors of a regular muffin with less calories - no oil or butter. Skinny Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins. 

    Skinny Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins

    I cannot believe how cold it  is outside today - wow! We woke up this morning to it being 5 degrees with a -5 degree windchill... that is downright cold in the DC area. Oh, we also woke up to our bathroom sink pipes being frozen. What a morning.

    As I as writing this I am munching down on these skinny oatmeal chocolate muffins and letting our bathroom borrow our heater. I wish I was sitting by that right now... what can you do!

    Skinny Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins

    Hopefully I don't eat the whole dozen because I am freaking out right now. This is our first time we have owned our home and never had anything like this happen. Clay thinks I worry too much...I just think I have my reasons! 🙂

    I can't believe this is my first skinny recipe I am sharing with you guys - don't you feel special? You should. These babies are delicious. Did I mention they do not contain and oil or butter and are delicious and moist? Oh yeah!

    Skinny Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins

    I love how you don't even need a mixer to mix these skinny deliciousness up. Save that for another time! They only require 18 minutes of baking. 😀

    I think you guys will enjoy these because they will  not make you cheat on your diet that you set for the new year. I think I will just go and grab another one!

      These sound delicious! Do you think swapping sour cream for Greek yogurt would work as well?

      Look delicious! Bummer they aren't vegan 🙁 We have food allergies in our life, so vegan is our only way to go for baked goods.
      I got excited because you said "Can you believe these don't contain oil or eggs", but the recipe clearly calls for eggs 🙁
      I'll have to try to make these vegan & let you know how they turn out

        Amy - In the beginning it states no oil or butter and the eggs near the end was a typo. Sorry! I fixed it now. Please let me know how the vegan ones turn out! 🙂

      These look great! I was just making them now but the instructions don't mention the applesauce or baking powder at all. When do those go in? I realized I forgot the applesauce after they went in the oven, hopefully they'll still come out as something good!

      Brrr, sounds cold. Even when it's that cold in Denver it's still dry air so it's not as freezing to the bones.
      Great recipe! I'm excited to try it!
      Thanks!

        Sami - That is what I love out there - the dry air. Here we have so much humidity in the air that it makes it freezing to the bones, especially when we aren't used to those temperatures. Back up to the 30s now 🙂
