Place the batter in your prepared baking pan and mix in 1/3 cup chocolate chips. Spread out to an even layer and top with 2 additional tablespoons of chocolate chips for presentation.

Step 5

Remove from oven and allow to cool and set in the pan for 20-30 minutes before slicing. Slice into 9 large (or 12 small) squares. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can serve chilled or warm.
