Banana Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

 
I made these by adapting the ‘Banana Cake’ recipe that I posted last year. They were delicious!

Ingredients:
150g butter (softened)
¾ cup sugar
2 eggs
2 large ripe bananas (diced into small pieces)
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons hot milk
2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup of chocolate chips

Icing:
50g butter
2 ½ – 3 cups icing sugar (sifted)
200g cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. 
Add bananas one at a time, again beating well after each addition. 
Stir baking soda into hot milk and add to mixture. 
Sift flour and baking powder into mixture and fold. 
Pour in chocolate chips and gently stir through.
Place mixture into a cupcake papers (filling to just over half way) and bake at 180˚C for 15 minutes or until the cupcake springs back when lightly touched (or until you can insert and then remove a skewer cleanly). 
Cool and ice with a cream cheese icing and decorate with extra chocolate chips.
