Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

I think that these muffins are a great way to use up left over bananas! Next time I will cover my chocolate chips with flour before adding to the mixture so that they dont fall to the bottom of the muffins. I also set the heat in my over for 420, but had to cook them longer, so will use orginal heating and baking insturctions next time! Might try to half the oil and use applesauce too! Great recipe thank you!
