Notes
*Natural peanut butter contains only peanuts or only peanuts and salt. It will not include any oils or sweeteners.
**To make your own oat flour, puree 1 cup rolled oats in a blender until they have become a very fine powder. Re-measure the flour before adding to the recipe, using only 1 cup in the muffins. Leftover oat flour can be stored in the fridge or freezer.
