Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

When I hear "gluten-free" I think: "NOT normal!"
"Gritty." "Bean-flavored." "Rice-like." "Dense." ... and then I sing
this little song I wrote called "Ode to Wheat" with a tear in my eye.
Not really. But it's pretty bad.

It is rare, but it happens, that I come across a product or recipe
that actually "does it" for me. This is one of them. So I have to share!

Dear Wheat, I miss you and think of you every day.
But these little muffins are gonna give you a run for your money.
Because they are good. Capital G...OOD!

I promise this recipe will fool any wheat lover.
Just don't tell them you used bean flour and I'm sure
