Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
- Fill the tin with batter by scooping with a large spoon and scraping it out with another.
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from tin.

Notes
*If you don't have pre-milled oat flour you can pulse rolled oats in your blender until you achieve a flour-like consistency.
*A thick yogurt is necessary to get the right consistency for this frosting
