Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the peanut butter, melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until all wet ingredients are fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the crumbled bacon and mini chocolate chips, if using, to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
