Banana Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

I'm so happy today I decided to make it a double recipe Saturday!! Most of you who know me know I love to cook but I also love to bake. Well, today was a I feel like baking day! I told my husband I was making this muffin recipe, which I actually created last year, and he said, "Oh, those sound really gross! Cinnamon with bananas and chocolate chips...yuck!" Now, keep in mind this was not the first time I made these. The last time I made them he ate 3 jumbo muffins the first day!! So I began to make them in the oven and he comes running down the steps, "What smells so good! You didn't tell me it was THOSE muffins you were making". Really (ShakingMyHead).....Well, anyway, here is the recipe and a picture. I hope you enjoy!
