Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare a muffin pan by greasing it or using muffin liners.
Make a flax egg by mixing the flax and water and set aside for 3 minutes until it thickens.
In a large mixing bowl, mash banana and add flax egg. Add in baking soda, maple syrup, coconut sugar, peanut butter, and applesauce. Whisk. Sift in cocoa powder then whisk again.
Add oats and almond flour to the bowl. Mix until completely combined. Fold in chocolate chips then scoop the batter into the muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ of the way. Top with chocolate chips.
Bake for 25-27 minutes until a fork combs out clean. Let cool fully before removing from pan.
Serve and enjoy!
