Stir in chocolate chips.

Pour about 1/4 c batter into greased muffin cups.
Bake at 350*F for 24-30 minutes until lightly browned on top.

Makes 20-24 muffins.

** White sugar will leave you with slightly sweeter muffins, while brown sugar has more flavor to it. Sugar substitutes are not recomended.

*** I have used several different "versions" of gluten-free flour mixes and all seem about the same to me. I prefer those that are heavy in rice and/or sorghum flour to those with bean flours for lighter, fluffier muffins.

My shortening was coconut oil. Added extra 1/3 c sugar & 1/3 c choc chips. Thought they were "gummy" but they just weren't cooled yet. "Next-day" flavor of these is delicious. These are a little dense but moist, and they freeze well. Thanks for a great recipe! - 6/30/15
