Chocolate Chip Muffins

We don't want to stand over the stove every morning and make a full breakfast. But these chocolate chip muffins are quick and easy to make. I serve these with a fruit smoothie, before they rush off to school. And obviously kids love anything with chocolate in them so they are always a huge hit in our house.
