- **Prepare Muffin Pans:** Line 2 muffin pans with 14 liners, spacing the liners out so each pan has 7 cups lined.
- **Fill Muffin Cups:** After an hour, scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling each to the top. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of mini chocolate chips on top.
- **Bake:** Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- **Cool:** Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
