Basic Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

"It's healthy...it's bananas!". Without a doubt, the ultimate classic breakfast treat is moist, slightly chewy, sweet banana bread. The fact that it was even once considered a nutritious meal only served to increase its popularity. Despite our admittance (sadly) of its true nutritional qualities, or rather lack of, banana bread still holds a place in our hearts. Bake it in smaller, cuter muffin form and toss in generous cupfuls of chocolate chips, and it holds an even bigger place... or at least it does in mine! Having only ever baked vegan banana bread (a Babycake's recipe that I still love and happens to only be a slightly different vegan-ified version of this one), I figured it would be nice to try something different, and discovered this ultra-basic, easy to make banana chocolate chip muffin recipe.
