Banana chocolate chip muffins

recipe source: VEGAN BAKING

a versatile recipe, that can be made in the form of muffins, bread, or a cake. Just simple and delicious, perfect for vegan's. Nuts and choco chips would be a nice addition to the recipe. I baked mine just plain, since my daughter doesn't care much for nuts and we're not a fan of choco chips either. Both are delicious in any ways. The muffins are soft, moist and just the perfect sweetness. ENJOY!
