After spending the day working on a design project, I came home feeling awfully domestic. So, my husband and I cooked dinner together and then I made muffins. I know. I am like a mini-Martha-Stewart or something…

That being said I make an awesome Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin. I mean awesome. Even my anti-banana friends love them! And because I am in the sharing mood, I have photos and recipes for all you lovely readers. You can thank me later. For now, run out and get the ingredients and start baking!

• 3 very ripe bananas
• 7 oz greek yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 ½ tsps baking soda
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ – 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (I usually stick with 1 ½ cups because my husband doesn’t share my affinity for chocolate- crazy, I know!)
