WOW {Warm Oven Wednesday} Chocolate Muffins

Sometimes I just need something chocolate! 

 And this is one of the best chocolate muffin recipes I found on Pinterest!

*of course, I didn't have some of the ingredients so changed it up a bit =)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, warmed (No coconut oil so used canola =)
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 2 cups white whole wheat flour (I just used regular flour, turned out fine)
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup coarsely chopped dark chocolate ( I didn't have dark chocolate so used chocolate chips =)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.
2. In the bowl of a stand-up mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine juice, oil, and brown sugar. Blend on medium-low until mixture is well-combined.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and cinnamon.
4. Add flour mixture to oil mixture and blend on low to combine. Scrape down bowl and blend again until moistened. Stir in chocolate.
5. Divide batter into muffin cups and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched.
6. Place the muffin pan on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Invert muffins onto the wire rack to continue cooling or serve them ooey gooey warm
