Preparation

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined; be careful not to overmix!
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles, making sure to distribute them evenly.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
