Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, mix rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Spoon the batter into muffin cups about two-thirds full and bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
