Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Protein Muffins
Gluten-Free, Protein-Packed and FULL of flavor!
My favorite part about these muffins is the crystalized sugar & oat crumble topping that bakes beautifully into these muffins…YAS!
These muffins are unique because they contain quinoa flour, which provides gluten-free protein and coconut sugar which provides a caramelized brown sugar flavor. (Truly melts in your mouth)
Even though these are a bit healthier for you than normal muffins, you certainly won’t be sacrificing flavor!

Recipe Notes
Quinoa is gluten-free and high in protein and that is why substituting all-purpose flour for quinoa flour is a great option for a healthier more substantial muffins. Bob’s Red Mill has a plethora of healthier flours to jazz up your baking game. Find this Quinoa flour and other flours on their website!
Coconut Sugar can have several health benefits. Especially for people like my husband Jake, who deal with Type 1 Diabetes.
