Notes
I only mix in about ¾ of the chocolate chips and put the remaining on top before they go into the oven. You can mix them all in and just add a few extra chocolate chips to each muffin, if you want some to be on top.
I have not made these using paper liners so I'm not sure if they'll stick or not.
Run a knife around the muffins before you take them out of the muffin pan.
Muffins will rise better if you use a room temperature egg but I don't always do this and they come out great.
