Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins

*I normally love to post wonderfully rich, fattening, and delicious treats.

*With the start of a New Year, I know people are looking for healthy options.

*My wife makes an awesome Chocolate Chip Banana Muffin.

*This is a "twist" on that with a bit of a healthy twist...
