Step-by-Step Instructions for Double Chocolate Muffins

  3. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
  4. Carefully fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
