Selenium WebDrive findElements return object

I'm trying to loop over some table and get the innerHTML() but when I try to do it I get innerHTML is not a function. I've looked over the documentation and findElements should return an array but if I check the type of item is an object

   var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver'),
        By = webdriver.By,
        until = webdriver.until;

    var driver = new webdriver.Builder()
        .forBrowser('firefox')
        .build();

    driver.get('https://stackoverflow.com/');

    driver.findElements(By.xpath('//*[@id="question-mini-list"]/div'))
    .then(function(item) {
        console.log( item );
    });

From their GitHub, findElements returns an Array, which contains Elements (objects!). 

findElements: function(scope) {
  var element;

  if (element = $(this.params.id))
    if (this.match(element))
      if (!scope || Element.childOf(element, scope))
        return [element];

  scope = (scope || document).getElementsByTagName(this.params.tagName || '*');

  var results = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < scope.length; i++)
    if (this.match(element = scope[i]))
      results.push(Element.extend(element));

  return results;
}

To get the innerHTML, you can use the getAttribute function on the element:

item[0].getAttribute('innerHTML');
