Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup brown sugar

Instructions
- The first step in this guide is to soak the oats in the milk for an hour or so. Then, proceed in preheating your oven to 400 degrees.
- Next, get your muffin pan and spray it with some non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan.
- The next step is to combine the oats mixture you prepared in the first step with the egg whites and the applesauce. Mix these properly for a few minutes.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk all of the dry ingredients together until all of them are completely combined.
- Combine the dry and the wet ingredients until they are just combined before you add the 1 cup of dark chocolate chips. Spoon the mixture into your muffin pan and then bake them for around 20 to 25 minutes.
- Once you are done baking, remove them from heat and then enjoy.
