  4. Fill muffin cups:

    Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Top with extra chocolate chips if you like.

  5. Bake until golden:

    Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges are golden-brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. Cool muffins completely:

    Let the muffins cool completely before removing the papers.
