LOVE these muffins! When eaten fresh, same day, the sugar ontop makes a crunchy top to these moist muffins! After baking, when taking out of the pans, I will sometimes gently tip them sideways to remove sugar that didn't crisp up. Great way to use up bananas that haven't been eaten!

    In a stand mixer, or large bowl with hand mixer, beat bananas until mostly smooth. Add oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat until combined.

    Remove bowl from mixer and stir in chocolate chips. Scoop into lined muffin tins, about 2/3-3/4 full. I use a large cookie scoop.
