Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil, mixing until combined.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips or nuts.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ensure bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
Avoid over-mixing the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
Check muffin doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with few crumbs.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness longer.
