Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus a few extra for topping)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with a bit of oil.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well incorporated.

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

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.

          Add Chocolate and Nuts: Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Fill Muffin Cups: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin for an extra chocolatey touch.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

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

                  Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Sweet Chocolate Banana Muffins warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert!
