ISO an Chocolate Oatmeal Muffin or Quickbread using Cocoa, no chips
Just thought I would give this a try. I'm looking for a recipe for a muffin or quickbread that combines oatmeal and cocoa powder.
I have tons of oatmeal chocolate chip muffin type recipes but nothing with just cocoa powder. I had a great tasting muffin at a bakeshop, and the only thing I could get out of them is that it had oatmeal and cocoa powder and no chips. I had to buy another one when I was there, all in the name of research.
Thanks so much for the recipe. I might have to give it a try.
You pegged me 100% --- I need to work on reviewing my Rollove IRA, filing and other paperwork so I'm looking for a bit of a diversion. I'm thinking by 2:00 tomorrow, I'll need a break. And, I have three canisters of Quaker oatmeal in my cabinet. And, we all know how good oats are for you.
Thanks for the help. I'll report back if I try it and I like it.
Suprisingly, not a chocolate chip to be found in my kitchen right now. Banana bread or oatmeal choc chip cookies are my common go to recipes when procrastinating.
Oh, if you look at another thread, you will see I asked about making applesauce. So that fit the bill today. How virtuous of me, nothing with chocolate.
You can probably omit the peanut butter chips in this recipe.
