For the muffins

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a muffin pan(s) with 18 paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In another large mixing bowl, mix mashed bananas, applesauce, brown sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla until combined.
Add dry ingredients alternatively with buttermilk until dry ingredients are moist.
Stir in mini-chocolate chips until just combined.
Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them most of the way.
Bake until the muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 22-25 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack.
