Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Kozmic Blues's Note:

This recipe is very versatile because it can be made in the form of muffins, bread or CAKE! If you like, you can add a bit less sugar and leave out the chocolate chips and make it more appropriate for breakfast/brunch. Walnut are are great addition, but are by no means necessary. I think these are amazing just as they are. From: Joy of Vegan Baking! Please note: Cook time for MUFFINS is stated below. If baking as a "bread" or cake it should probably bake for 40-45 minutes

[I love Animal!]

I made this for my husband and his friend and everyone gobbled them up, so I had to make a double batch the second time. I actually only used 3 bananas the first time and 6 the second and 25 mins seems to be the perfect amount of time.
