Chocolate chip Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins

These muffins are one of those things that are absolutely decadent yet are great for you. 

Chockful of oats and whole wheat flour, it meets the health quota and the chocolate chips and peanut butter are a totally indulgent, classic flavor. To me, these are best savored warm from the oven...all that melting, gooey chocolate! Mmm...mmmm!
