Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, mash ripe bananas until smooth.

Add honey, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas; mix until well combined.

In another bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture; stir until just combined.

Fold in milk, yogurt, walnuts, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
