   2      Lg            Bananas, Ripe (Or 3 Medium)
     2/3  C             Sugar
   2                    Eggs
   6      Tbsp          Butter -- melted
   1      Tsp           Vanilla Extract
   2      C             Flour
   2      Tsp           Baking Soda

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Add 
sugar and eggs and mix well. Stir in melted butter and vanilla. Add flour, 
baking soda, and buttermilk. Stir with a fork just enough to combine. Stir 
in chocolate chips and pecans. Spoon batter into 12 paper-lined 2 3/4-inch 
muffin cups, filling almost full. Bake 20 to 22 mins, or until golden and 
a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let muffins stand 5 
mins; then transfer to racks to let cool completely.
