   Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan (you can use a small ladle or even an ice-cream scoop).

9. Step 9

   Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips onto the tops of the muffins, and transfer to the oven immediately.

    Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

    Then remove the muffins from the pan and let them cool another 5 minutes on a wire rack.
