Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the oats, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the muffins if desired.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18β20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
