Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup of milk (or plant milk of choice)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

How to Make Them
- Preheat & Prep – Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners.
- Mix the Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together the oats and milk and let sit for about 10 minutes. Then add the remaining ingredients (except the chocolate chips) and mix well together.
- Fill & Sprinkle– Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Next, sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake – Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
