- Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

- For extra texture, top each muffin with a few extra chocolate chips before baking.
- Use natural peanut butter for a richer peanut flavor if preferred.
