4. Stir in chocolate chips.
5. Lightly grease an 8″x8″ baking dish (or better yet, line it with parchment paper) and spread batter over the bottom evenly using a spatula (batter will be quite thick).
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out a little dirty.
