Wet Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
1/2cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
1cup all-purpose flour
1/2cup whole wheat flour (or more all-purpose)
1/3cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
Extra chips for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or by greasing lightly.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, oil, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flours, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine wet and dry: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
Fill muffin cups: Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For added texture, stir in 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
You can substitute maple syrup or honey for the brown sugar for a refined sugar–free version.
