Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease with coconut oil.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
Fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
