Banana Choco Chip CupcakesINGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp. Baking soda
  • 1 tbsp. warm water
  • 1 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 tsp. Baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt

Procedure:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Cream butter and add both brown and white sugar.
  3. Dissolve 1 teaspoon soda and 1 teaspoon salt in 1 tablespoon warm water, and then add this to your one cup mashed bananas. Add this to the creamed butter mixture.
  4. Add egg and beat at low speed.
  5. Still at low speed, beat in vanilla. Then stir in chocolate chips.
  6. In a separate bowl, sift together flour and baking powder. Add this to your creamed mixture at low speed until fully incorporated.
  7. Line your cupcake pans with paper cupcake liners. This keeps your cupcakes moist.
  8. Using an ice-cream scoop, put even amounts of batter into each paper liner, making sure these fill up 2/3 of the way.
  9. Once all liners are full, bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
  10. Remove cupcakes from oven once these are done, and cool. Top with your favorite icing, or serve as is.
