Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 large Overripe bananas
• 1 large Egg
• 0.33 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cups Optional: Extra chocolate chips for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until the wet ingredients are fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin for garnish.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are risen and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking).

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
