Chocolate Chip Muffins

• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 (11 1/2 ounce) package milk chocolate chips

May stir in 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans if desired.
If you don't use self rising flour, use plain flower and add 2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt.
*shouldn't substitute margarine for butter because of the water content. May cause muffins to be flat and dough-like.
