Notes:

Wanna mix it up? You can use milk chocolate chips which will make it a little sweeter. I like semi-sweet chocolate chips. But you could also use dark chocolate chips or white chocolate chips.

Semisweet chocolate chips is just the right sweetness for me, kind of the mid-grade sweet level. But milk and white will make your bakery-style chocolate chip muffins sweeter and semi sweet and dark will make them less so. It all depends on what you prefer.

You an also buy gluten free (and dairy free) Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips at most grocery stores and on Amazon.
