Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin paper liners. Spray with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
In a small bowl or a large jug, whisk cocoa powder, brown sugar, lukewarm milk, and light olive oil until no more lumps of cocoa powder are visible. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana with a fork. For the best texture, measure the amount with precision by packing the mashed bananas in measuring cups and sweeping off the excess on top.
Add self-rising flour, the chocolate milk-mixture made before, and vanilla extract if used.
Stir with a rubber spatula until well combined and no lumps of flour can be seen.
Fold in the chocolate chips if used, and stir to combine evenly.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan.
Bake the muffins on the center rack for 30 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.
