Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Line a muffin tin with 12 liners.

• Add flour mixture to bananas, then blend at low speed until combined; do not over mix.
• Fold in chocolate chips and pour batter into muffin tins.
• Bake on the center rack for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• If making the glaze, combine confectioner's sugar and 1/4 to 1/2 tsp water to make a glaze. Drizzle over each muffin.
