Preheat oven to 400˚. Liberally coat two standard muffin tins with nonstick oil spray and set aside. (Note: You can use silicone muffin liners or pour batter directly into muffin tins misted with nonstick oil spray; paper liners may stick to muffins.)
In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients (with the exception of chips).
In a small mixing bowl, combine all wet ingredients.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and begin to mix. Add the chocolate chips right before the mixture is fully combined. Take care not to overmix.
Pour batter evenly among 20 muffin cups and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
