Chocolate Chip Oat Bran Muffins: 2016 Edition

Wow,  it's been exactly one year since I've written an entry! A lot has changed since then and it's been an adventure and I wouldn't change anything about it!  Except some unhealthy eating habits.  I've started a new telework position that doesn't allow me time to eat lunch.  I told myself I was going to cut back on baking this year in an attempt to be healthy, but I remembered I had made some oat bran muffins without any flour and they were tasty and healthy and it sounded like the perfect snack to have at work!  I've made these muffins again but this time I've added baking soda and baking powder for some lift and I used buttermilk instead of almond milk because that's what I had on hand.

These are surprisingly light and not dense and are like a better, portable oatmeal.  You can whip them up quickly and even with a baby attached to your leg!
