📝 Instructions

11 steps

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

2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.

3. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the bananas. Mix until well combined.

4. Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

6. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

7. Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula.

8. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

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

10. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
