Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)

1/2 cup plain yogurt (can substitute with Greek yogurt)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or substitute with whole wheat flour for a healthier option)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)

3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, yogurt, and your choice of sweetener (honey or maple syrup). Pour in the melted coconut oil, crack in the eggs, and add the vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well integrated.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Ensure that no lumps remain in the flour mixture for a consistent batter.

        Combine Both Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula. Mix just until combined; it's important not to overmix, as a few lumps are perfectly fine and will result in a fluffier muffin.

          Fold in Chocolate Chips & Nuts: Carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter without overworking it.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to fill each muffin cup with batter, filling them about two-thirds full to allow space for rising.

              Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they don't become soggy from steam in the pan.
