Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with coconut oil or line cups with paper liners.

  2. Use a fork to mash bananas in a bowl. Blend in egg, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder together in a separate bowl, making a well in the center. Pour banana mixture into the well and stir until batter is just combined, fold in unsweetened coconut and chocolate chips.

  3. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
