Preheat oven to 350 degrees(F)

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Spray muffin tray or line with parchment liners.
2. Combine all ingredients, just until smooth; adding chocolate chips last.
3. Fill muffin tins 3/4 full. I use a large ice cream scoop, so they are each even portions.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 25-35 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
5. They are VERY moist if they are NOT over-baked.
