Banana Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

When Scott went out of town the other weekend, I wanted to bake. And bake. And bake. So then I decided to bake. I looked through the recipes I wanted to make and found a few that I didn't have to go to the store for because I was lazy. And this was one of my creations. And it was delicious. I'd give it a 3.5/5. Not the best cupcakes (although I"m really not a cupcake fan), but my coworkers loved them so gotta give it a better than average number! Make these when you get the chance!
