Why You’ll Love These Muffins

• Easy to make: Why buy store-bought muffins that are laden with sugar and processed ingredients when it takes just minutes to make your own?
• Naturally gluten-free: Oat flour is used in place of wheat flour in these muffins, so they are naturally gluten-free. If gluten is an issue for you, be sure to use certified gluten-free oat flour.
• Cozy: You can’t beat gingerbread spices and molasses when you want to feel cozy.
