Notes
**These muffins aren’t extremely sweet, so they really do need the chocolate chips
UPDATE: I tested these again and added 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. With the extra 2 tablespoons, the muffins were sweet -- not overly so, but more dessert-like. If you know you like sweet muffins, you may want to add the extra brown sugar. I wouldn't add over 2 T.
