Whisking the dry ingredients is a crucial first step in muffin-making. To ensure even distribution of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, start by measuring each ingredient precisely. Use a whisk to mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. This process not only aerates the flour but also helps to eliminate any lumps that could lead to uneven baking. As you whisk, make sure to incorporate the baking powder and baking soda thoroughly, as these leavening agents are key to achieving the perfect rise in your muffins.

Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/3 cup sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tsp vinegar added)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Optional: Chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to ensure everything is evenly combined.

      Cream the Sugars and Bananas: In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk to the banana mixture. Beat everything together until fully incorporated.

          Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

            Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and optional nuts if you're using them, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.

                Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 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 let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are delightful with a little butter or cream cheese spread on top!
