Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Who doesn't have old or should I say "really ripe bananas" sitting around.  We always seem to have this problem in our household...probably because I always, every week buy bananas.  I can't help it.  I need to see them in my grocery basket.  This problem does have one good outcome...see below.
