Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and milk, and stir until fully combined.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and nuts (if using) to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
