Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or non-stick cooking spray.
In a glass liquid measuring cup, pour in rolled oats and almond milk. Stir together and let the oats soak for 20 minutes.
Combine flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Add remaining liquid ingredients to the soaked oats and mix together.
Create a space in the center of the bowl of flour mixture and pour the wet ingredients into the bowl and gently mix together.
Gently fold in chocolate chips
Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop batter into the prepared muffin pan.
Bake muffins for 20-22 minutes, until they bounce back when gently touched.
Allow muffins to cool in pan for 3 minutes, then move to a wire rack to completely cool.
Notes
For mini chocolate chip muffins, use ¾ to 1 cup mini chocolate chips and bake in a mini muffin pan at 375°F (190°C) for 12–14 minutes, until golden and springy.
