Ready to get baking? Here’s all you need to do!

PREP: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with liners or grease the cups. Set aside.

MIX: Mix all the ingredients together (reserving 1/8 cup chocolate chips). Spoon the batter into the muffin liners. Top with remaining chocolate chips.
