Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

This is going to be a short post: Make these muffins!  In all seriousness, I've had my share of chocolate muffins and these are by far the moistest, fudgiest, most satisfying ones out there.  I can't take credit for the recipe though.  It comes from a friend of the family. She would bake these delicious jewels and bring them over early in the morning, still warm.  Talk about a weekend treat:)  They are so soft but at the same time super rich.  The banana is barely detectable but adds so much to these muffins.  If you're looking for a knock your socks off kind of muffin, you've found it.  Enjoy!
