Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 3 Ripe Bananas Use those with brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt This ingredient keeps the muffins moist while adding protein.
  • 1 Large Egg Replace with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce for an egg-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Adds a rich flavor; coconut sugar is a great substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the flavor; opt for pure vanilla for the best results.
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend can be used.
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Imparts the rich chocolate flavor; make sure it's unsweetened.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda This leavens the muffins; ensure it's fresh.
  • 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips Optional for extra chocolatey goodness.

  4. In another bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently until just combined.
  6. Optionally fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips into the batter.
