Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 large egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

    Mix Bananas and Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted coconut oil. Stir until well mixed, then add the brown sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, flour, and cocoa powder.

        Combine Wet & Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or a wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

          Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) into the batter.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your super moist chocolate banana muffins!
