Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

In a separate bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
