Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 2 muffin tins with cooking spray or line with paper muffin cup liners.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, oat brown, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt together.
- In a medium bowl, beat eggs with milk, oil and vanilla. Pour into dry ingredients. Stir until well-incorporated, but do not overmix. Stir in chocolate chips and half of the walnuts.
