Mini Oat Chocolate Bar Muffins

These mini muffins are great kids treats or lunch box treats. They making a great balanced treat as the in my book the oats and whole wheat flours offset the chopped up chocolate bars! 🙂

IMG_5661It’s usually this time of year when your chocolate tin is still rather full from Christmas. Now than we are in the february it’s time to use up some chocolate bars getting ready for all that Easter chocolate that will arrive – or in my case kids birthdays!IMG_5658These mini muffins are a great way to use up some chocolate, specially the mini chocolates that don’t usually get eaten like in the celebrations/Heroes tins.  IMG_5657

Instead making full size muffins, I thought it would be nice to make them into mini muffins ( bite size).IMG_5650
