Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

What do you do with the very ripe bananas on your counter? Make banana muffins of course! This delightful muffin is light, moist and chocolatey. The recipe comes from  my new friend Micaela, who makes them gluten free with the substitution of Bob's Red Mill gluten free all purpose flour for regular AP flour. Micaela tells me that this is a very forgiving recipe and can handle pretty much any substitution. Next time I might try using corn oil instead of the Earth Balance.

I have posted her original recipe with vegan subs in the parenthesis. Enjoy!

1 c brown sugar
