Chunky Monkey Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
For the Dark Chocolate Frosting:
- 1 cup very hot, but not boiling cream
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 12 dried banana chips
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
Step 2
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
Step 3
Mash bananas with milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Mix butter and sugar together with a spatula until creamy. Whisk in eggs, 1 at a time, then whisk in the banana mixture. Add walnuts, chocolate, and the flour mixture. Mix batter with a spatula until no dry spots remain.
Step 5
Fill muffin cups to the top with batter, then distribute excess batter as needed. Tap pan against the counter to expel any air bubbles.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until tops are lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Let cupcakes cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
Step 7
Pour hot cream over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for a few minutes, then whisk, increasing speed gradually, until color is uniform. Spread ganache over the cooled cupcakes and garnish with banana chips. Refrigerate to firm up the frosting, if desired.
