Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly until well combined and smooth.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well mixed after each addition.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, baking powder, salt, all-purpose flour, and cocoa powder until evenly mixed.

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

            Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and nuts (if using) into the batter.

              Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.

                Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

                  Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to three days.
