½ cup oats
2.5 cups milk

3/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon butter
2.5 cups all-purpose flour
8 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoon salt

Steps

1
Preheat the oven to 205 degrees C (400 degrees F).
- Listen for when the oven is ready to be used to avoid miscooking.
2
Put oats and milk in a medium-sized bowl.
- Mix two ingredients and this will allow better absorption of milk from the oats. Absorption of milk will result in better cooking when in the oven.

3
Allow the mixture to sit on the counter for 10 minutes.
- Allow for a longer time if the mixture is not fully absorbed.
4
Line your muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
- Muffin liners may be used as an alternative and will be easier to remove muffins from the tin if used.
5
Combine brown sugar, vegetable oil, chocolate chips, and eggs in a large bowl.
- Do not eat raw batter due to egg and may result in salmonella.
6
Combine your wet ingredients with the oats and milk mixture.
- Whisk all together and make sure to reach all edges.
7
Put dry ingredients in a bowl and mix.
- Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl and whisk them together.
8
Mix dry ingredients together.
- Mix well with a whisk or fork.
9
Add the oat mixture to the dry ingredients.
10
Stir well until you have a wet consistency.
- Mix for at least five minutes to allow for all dry ingredients to be absorbed and ready to be put in oven.
11
Fill each prepared muffin tray two-thirds full of batter.
- Fill only 2/3 or less since in oven muffins will rise and will cause a mess around tin tray if overfilled.
12
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cooking time will vary depending on oven strength and preference of muffin texture.
