Oh so good!!! I made these exactly as listed and it made 12 perfect muffins in exactly 20 minutes. They are moist and absolutely delicious. I guess my boys got into the chocolate chips because I only had about 20 to use and walnuts would definitely be great in these too! Made for Went to the Market tag. Thanks Galley Wench! :)

I made these lovely muffins for an afternoon tea and they were awesome. My friend commented that she had not eaten such a delicious and moist muffin for years. When preparing them I did find the mixture a bit stiff because my bananas weren't extremely ripe so I nedded to add a quarter of a cup of milk. Thanks for sharing!
