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
• 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 0.25 cups coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1 pieces large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups shredded coconut (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the melted coconut oil, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure fluffy muffins.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. If desired, sprinkle shredded coconut on top of each muffin for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy your Cocoatana Muffins!
