chocolate chip banana-bran muffins


i've said it before that one persons bowl of cereal, is another persons breakfast muffin....
that person is me.  although to be honest, i'd like to chase the muffin with a big bowl of cereal and ice cold almond milk too.

i'm pretty certain that every bowl of all-bran cereal aspires to become a muffin.  especially when the muffin is chocolate chip banana bran.
