Where do I buy Oat Flour?

Oat flour is becoming widely accessible these days and you should be able to find it at your local grocery store. You can also find it on Amazon or other online retailers. If you have Celiac disease or extreme gluten sensitivity you want to make sure you purchase certified gluten-free flour. I like THIS brand and THIS one.

Is oatmeal the same as oat flour?

Well, not exactly. They are both derived from the same ingredient and you can make oat flour by blending whole grain oats but they are not always interchangeable in a recipe. If a recipe calls for flour you can either blend your own oatmeal in to a fine flour or buy prepackaged flour.

Is there a substitute for coconut sugar?

Yes, you can substitute another granulated sugar. I prefer using cane or maple sugar as a substitute.

Does it matter what kind of cocoa powder I use?

Yes, you want to use a naturally processed cocoa powder because it has more acidity that will help these muffins to rise vs a dutch processed cocoa powder that is more alkaline. I also just prefer the flavor of a naturally processed cocoa powder. I use THIS brand.

Notes

I have tried this recipe with dairy and dairy-free yogurts and both have worked. Usually I use Siggs 2% or triple cream yogurt. For a dairy-free variation I used Forager cashew yogurt and results were the same. Feel free to use your favorite yogurt.
