Notes

• To prepare oat flour at home, slightly roast the oats in a pan till slight aroma comes. Let it cool and then powder it in a blender. Or you can get them in the store.
• This muffin doesn't rise well like the one made with all purpose flour.
• The oven timings varies in each oven. So keep an eye in the oven after the muffin are in the oven for 15 minutes.
