Normally, I would say that muffins are glorified cupcakes, minus the icing. Except when it comes to these muffins. These Banana Chocolate Chip muffins are pretty healthy and have become my go to for quick and family friendly treats. They also happen to be really flavourful, thanks to the extra ripe bananas. Enjoy.
