Recipe Summary Chunky Monkey Cupcakes
Banana, walnut, and chocolate are always an amazing combination of ingredients, no matter what the delivery system, but it really doesn't get any better than in this ganache-frosted cupcake. A close second would be a chocolate-dipped frozen banana, rolled in walnuts, which is also a great treat, although much more awkward to eat in public. Feel free to omit the frosting and just enjoy these as muffins.Ingredients | Chunky Chicken Menu Prices2 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon kosher salt3 ripe bananas2 tablespoons milk (Optional)¼ teaspoon vanilla extract½ cup butter, softened1 cup white sugar2 large eggs1 cup chopped walnuts1 cup dark chocolate chunks1 cup very hot, but not boiling cream1 cup dark chocolate chips12 dried banana chipsFor Garnish:DirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.Mash bananas with milk and vanilla extract until smooth.Mix butter and sugar together with a spatula until creamy.
