Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

 

So the other day we had some brown semi-rotting bananas in the fruit bowl at my house. My mom told me to do something with them, she suggested bread, but instead I made muffins. Muffins are so much better, you can take them with you in the morning and they're perfectly portioned out! This recipe comes from an old cook book my Memere had. It's called The Blender Cookbook. Pretty funny! I didn't blend this recipe though I wanted to keep the bananas chunky.
