chocolate banana muffins

1 large very ripe banana
1/4 cup sugar
2 TBS canola oil
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1.  Preheat the oven to 350℉, and line a muffin pan with 6 cups.

2.  In a large bowl, mash the banana very well with a fork until it's smooth, not lumpy almost liquid.

3.  Whisk in the sugar, oil, egg and vanilla extract. Whisk very well until combined.

4.  In the same bowl, sprinkle the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt on top. Using a spatula, stir until well-combined.

5.  Stir in the chocolate chips, saving a few for the top of the muffins if desired.

6.  Divide the batter between the muffin cups evenly, and sprinkle chocolate chips on top of each muffin.

7.  Bake for 18 minutes, or until the muffins spring back when pressed gently on the top and are done.
Move the muffins to a cooling rack, and let cool completely before serving.
