Mini Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

My son just loves those mini muffins you can buy at the grocery store.  Don't get me wrong, they are great for a quick grab and go breakfast or snack!  But, when we ran out the other day and he asked me for more all I could think was that I could probably make some mini banana chocolate chip muffins at home that he would enjoy just as much.  Even better I would know exactly what was in them and how they were made!

So, I decided to just tweak my banana bread recipe slightly and make it into muffins instead.  It worked perfectly, and they came out really delicious!  Once they cooled my son and I divided them up and packaged them into little plastic bags so that he and my husband can both just grab a pack when they want them.

Check out my step by step tutorial with pictures below and printable recipe at the bottom!  Enjoy!
