Whole Wheat Cinnamon Crumb Muffins

Today I took my main muffin mix recipe and changed it up a bit. Filled with whole wheat heartiness and heart healthy oatmeal, these delicious muffins are bursting with cinnamon. As a small treat I threw in a few chocolate chips but they would still be yummy without them. Here I share this awesome recipe and hope you can enjoy these vegan treats just as much as I do. My dog Olive loves them too!
