Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, mashed bananas, maple syrup, cocoa powder, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
Fold in Chocolate Chips:
If using, gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips for extra bursts of chocolate.
Fill the Muffin Tin:
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve:
Enjoy these muffins warm or at room temperature for a rich, fudgy treat.
