liners.
5. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ones and mix no more than ten seconds. The
batter should be visibly lumpy. That’s OK! It’s extremely important not to overmix the
batter, or the resulting muffins can be hard or misshapen
3. 6. With a rubber spatula, gently fold 1 cup of chocolate chips into the batter. Don’t
overwork the batter.
7. Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan. You can use a small ladle
or even an ice-cream scoop.
8. Finally, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips onto the tops of the muffins, and
transfer to the oven immediately.
9. Bake 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes
out clean
10. Remove pan from the oven and let the muffins cool for five minutes in the pan.
Then remove the muffins from the pan and let them cool another five minutes on a
wire rack.
