Coffee Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I went out for lunch with a group of friends last weekend at a place with a prospect of 2 hours wait. I was told it's the best pizza in NY called Di Fara. So we took a train almost all the way to Coney Island. Got there. Fought the crowd. Placed our order of 3 pies. And waited.... and waited... and waited....

Good thing I came prepared with these jumbo and hearty muffins.
