Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

We eat a lot of bananas in this family. My hubby also on occasion will bring some home from his work place and I will get requests from his co-workers for some banana bread. His co-workers actually get treated to a lot of my goodies and I always send extra in my hubby's lunch for him to share! With these ripe bananas that we had sitting around, I decided to make some banana muffins. But these muffins needed some chocolate and a drizzle of frosting. Here is the recipe for these moist banana muffins and I also added some mini chocolate chips and a peanut butter glaze for the top!
