Preheat oven to 350˚ F and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners. In a mixing bowl, cream together 8 Tbsp softened butter with 2/3 cup sugar. Add 2 lightly beaten eggs.
Add 3 mashed bananas and 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix until blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt.
Mix the dry ingredients into wet ingredients until incorporated. Fold in 3/4 cup chocolate chips. Divide batter evenly into your 12-count muffin tin and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips evenly over the tops.
Bake at 350˚F on the center rack for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a baking rack to cool to room temperature.
