Cocoa Banana Muffins are a healthy and delicious way to indulge in a sweet treat. These muffins are moist, fluffy, and have a rich cocoa flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of ripe bananas. The whole wheat flour and buttermilk make them more nutritious than traditional muffins, while the dark brown sugar adds a touch of sweetness without being too overpowering. Whip up a batch of these muffins for breakfast or an afternoon snack, and enjoy them with your favorite hot beverage or a glass of cold milk.

4.Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5.Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
6.Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7.Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
