Banana Chocolate Muffins

I've adapted this recipe from this one.  I was a little unsure how it would taste, bananas and chocolate? Either way I had some cocoa powder in the cupboard I wanted to use so I gave it a shot.   

I loved them! I think next time I'll be extra sinful and add some chocolate chips ( I think it will pretty well copy one of those chocolate Costco muffins, yum!)
