Healthy Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

I baked these muffins a few days ago upon request of my boyfriend. He and our other roommate love these muffins and finish them off within a couple of days.

Packed with Ghirardelli chocolate chips (which in my opinion are the best chocolate chips out there) and full of banana flavor, this is the muffin recipe to make when you have some overripe bananas you need to use up.

To make these muffins sugar or gluten free, you can use a gluten free flour or substitute the sugar with baking stevia. I am extremely tempted to play around with this recipe to make it sugar free, but I think if I changed the flavor, even by a smidge, my roommates would not be too happy with me. So, I'll leave the recipe as I found it.

Honestly, these muffins will probably be eaten as fast at your house as they are at mine, so if you have a large amount of bananas you have to use, double (or triple!) this recipe. I hope you enjoy my and my roommates' favorite banana muffins!
