Banana-Chocolate Chip Muffins

I whipped these up with my daughter, along with two other kinds of muffins to send to the office with my husband, which I will be posting soon. We used a basic cream cheese icing, by combining powdered sugar (1/2 a bag), 1 box cream cheese, and 1 stick butter, with a teaspoon vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom, which gives it that extra little kick!
