- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 medium ripe bananas mashed (about 1 cup)
- ¾ cup granulated white sugar
- ½ cup Greek yogurt at room temperature
- ⅓ cup oil any flavorless oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs at room temperature

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, add the banana and mash it with a fork until smooth.
- Add the sugar, Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana and mix well.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chunks, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each almost to the top.
- Place the muffin tray in the oven and bake at 425°F (218°C) for 5 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 13–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes
- Use overripe bananas for the best sweetness and moisture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Starting at 425°F for 5 minutes helps the muffins rise quickly, giving them a bakery-style dome.
