05 - Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
06 - Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin emerges clean or with a few moist crumbs.
