Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Use a whisk or fork to blend these ingredients until creamy and well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This step helps to aerate and incorporate the ingredients evenly.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps are perfectly fine.

          Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and optional nuts (if using) until just distributed throughout the batter.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool: Allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Enjoy these delightful muffins warm or at room temperature. They’re perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert!
