OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIPS MUFFINS

I been craving for a chocolate muffin for a while. Since my doctor advice me to avoid sweets and acidic foods, I stop eating such food instantly. But since I feel better now, I started eating sweets just enough to satisfy my stomach. I'm really trying to avoid sweets not because my doctor says so but because I wanted to cut them and loss few pounds of fats. So everytime I crave for it, I just bought some in the coffee shop or in the grocery store.

I decided this morning to make some muffins which is not too sweet and healthy to eat. I check in the internet for the recipe and thanks to All Recipe for sharing an easy recipe and delicious recipe.
