Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I was in a baking mood today so while Andrew was "watching" football in the living room with his eyes closed, I churned out a batch of pumpkin bread and banana chocolate chip muffins. The muffins are incredibly easy to make and taste wonderful.

I have to say that everyone whose had them loves them and Andrew himself was making up excuses to eat muffins all afternoon - "There's something wrong with the way this muffin looks - I'm going to have to eat it to make sure it's ok."
