These muffins are delicate and light, a perfect snack to go. They are easy to make and a great gluten-free option. The chia seeds give a nice fresh taste and have a crunchy texture while the chocolate chips are a yummy sweet suprise.
I wanted to experiment with different flours, seeing how they worked, and if they tasted different. I wanted to start off with something I love to make that is simple: Muffins. After baking them, I realized that oat flour works very well in these muffins as a flour substitute.
