Description
I took the original recipe found on this site and changed it up to be gluten-free and lower in sugar/fats. These muffins were highly praised, thinking these were too good to be gluten-free! I prefer to cut the fats and sugars in half by using applesauce and agave nectar.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter, softened

- 1 pinch ground allspice
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1 cup rolled oats, or more to taste
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions

- Beat brown sugar and butter together in a bowl; add egg and beat until creamy.
- Whisk flour
