Whole Wheat Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

We love these for breakfast or snacking.  My kids don't even notice that they are made with whole wheat!

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 bananas)
1/4 cup honey
2 large eggs
2 cups whole wheat flour
2/3 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.  Line or grease a 12 cup muffin pan.

Beat together the butter, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth.  Add the banana, honey and eggs, beating until smooth.  Add the flour and chocolate chips, stirring until smooth.  Divide batter into the muffin cups, they'll be nearly full.  Bake the muffins until a tooth pick comes out clean, 23-28 minutes.  Remove from oven and transfer to a rack to cool.
