Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the muffin tin with muffin liners or grease it lightly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly with a whisk to combine all dry ingredients.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. If using, fold in the chocolate chips or nuts gently into the batter.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each one about ¾ full.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
