Step 1

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with foil baking cups, or spray it with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a blender, pulse oats to the consistency of coarse flour. Add all remaining ingredients except chocolate chips. Blend at high speed until completely smooth and uniform, stopping and stirring if needed.

Step 3

Fold in 2 tbsp. chocolate chips. Evenly fill the muffin pan with batter, and smooth out the tops. (Cups will be full.)

Step 4

Top with remaining 2 tbsp. chocolate chips. Lightly press to adhere.

Step 5

Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 16–20 minutes.
