In a smaller bowl, stir together whole-wheat and all-purpose flours, cocoa, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Gently stir flour mixture and chocolate chips into egg mixture just until incorporated. Spoon batter evenly into 18 paper-lined muffin cups (3/4-cup capacity; fill them all the way to the top).
