Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly coat with nonstick spray.
Mix dry ingredients. Whisk all of the dry ingredients together, including sugar, in a large mixing bowl until evenly combined.
Add the mashed banana, vanilla extract, egg, softened butter, and yogurt to the bowl of a stand mixer (or regular mixing bowl if using a handheld mixer), and mix on medium speed until smooth.
Add the dry mixture to the wet while mixing on low just until combined, then fold in your chopped chocolate and optional nuts by hand.
Portion the batter into the muffin cups and sprinkle a few extra chocolate pieces on top of the batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

- Go gluten-free – Substitute a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum (I like King Arthur’s or Bob’s Red Mill), and be sure your oat flour is certified gluten-free, as cross-contamination is common in standard oats.
- Go dairy-free – Swap the Greek yogurt for plain coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt, and use melted coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative in place of regular butter. Look for dairy-free chocolate bars like Enjoy Life or Hu Kitchen.
