Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium ripe bananas Look for bananas with mostly brown spots for best flavor.
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt Can substitute with regular yogurt if needed.
  • 1 large egg For a vegan option, substitute with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Coconut sugar can be a healthier substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Opt for pure extract for best results.
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Can use whole wheat or gluten-free flour.
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Always use unsweetened.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips Optional; can swap with nuts or dried fruit.

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing Bowl
  • whisk
  • S spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing each cup lightly.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a medium mixing bowl until mostly smooth with some small lumps.
  3. Add Greek yogurt, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas; whisk until creamy and well incorporated.
  4. Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl.
  5. Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just incorporated.
  6. Optionally, gently fold in mini chocolate chips.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
