Notes
Overmixing can result in a dense/tough texture. Mix just until all ingredients are incorporated. A few small remaining clumps are okay!
When adding the muffin mix to the muffin pan, use a spring loaded cookie scoop - helps to form those perfectly shaped muffins.
Stir your oat flour before measuring. Oat flour tends to settle as it sits and you want to fluff it up a bit. Then scoop your oat flour and level it off. Don’t pack the oat flour into the measuring cup.
