Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins ~ Mary M.
1/2 c. butter, softened (I just use margarine)
1/2 c. brown sugar

1/4 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. chocolate chips (the actual recipe calls for mini chocolate chips but I prefer the big morsels and I normally do a little more than 1/2 cup)
