1. In one bowl combine the wet ingredients plus the sugar and allow the sugar crystals to dissolve. 2. In another bowl, sift together the rest of the ingredients {except the chips}. 3. Now combine the two bowls and the chips, too! 4. Get your oven to 375 degrees and grease your muffin tin. The recipe is designed to make 8 normal size muffins, but I wanted minis. I was given a tip years ago, that if you don''t fill all the wells with batter you should fill the emptys with water to ensure even baking.
