Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins

I haven't cooked much since we arrived home from the hospital 4 weeks ago.  Our amazing friends and family stocked our fridge and freezer with a ton of meals which we are still working on getting through.  THANK YOU! It has been an enormous help. Yesterday I decided to do some baking -- finally! I know I've posted a zillion muffin recipes but here is another one.  This isn't exactly a healthy muffin but they are absolutely delish! Enjoy!

Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
