1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

4. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture, then fold in whole wheat flour until just combined.
5. Stir in chocolate chips gently.

Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
Do not overmix the batter once you add the flour—this keeps the muffins tender.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
