Healthy Banana Oatmeal Muffins

This is one of my go to recipes for muffins and one of the few the kids actually eat.  The dark chocolate chips are just sweet enough to of set the whole wheat blandness that usually accompanies the flour, even with sugar.

These are great to use up leftover bananas and they store well in the freezer to pull out for a quick breakfast or snack.
