Banana and Chocolate chip Muffins

A simple recipe but you can add other ingredients to it (berries, fruits etc)
I use half wholemeal and half plain flour for this recipe.
Try to find some old/mushy bananas as these have lots of sugars and liquid.
Remember to cream your butter and sugar first, before adding the egg and banana. And don't overmix the final muffin batter before spooning into muffin tins.
