Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 medium Ripe bananas (mashed)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.33 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter may be lumpy, which is fine.

Step 5

If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your Cocoa Banana Muffins!
