Coconut Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins

These Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins are tender, moist and delicious! With just 260 calories and 5 grams of protein per muffin, it’s completely acceptable to enjoy one for breakfast!

I love keeping muffins on hand for snacks and breakfast. They satisfy my sweet tooth, and when they have healthy ingredients like Greek yogurt and oatmeal, they fill you up, too. Keep these Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins in the freezer so they are on hand and ready any time for a quick and easy breakfast or snack.

I also happen to have a little obsession with toasted coconut. I’m not a big fan of coconut, but toasting just gives it this smoky flavor that I absolutely love. I made a lot more than the recipe called for just so I could have some for snacking!

Want to make them even healthier? Substitute applesauce for the canola oil to make them even lower fat! I hope you love these Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins  as much as we do!
