1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.

Cool and Serve: Allow the muffin tops to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
