Chocolate banana cupcakes are the perfect mix of rich chocolate and moist banana. The homemade batter is super simple to make and they taste amazing!

Rich chocolate cupcakes with bananas mixed right in. You won’t believe how easy they are to make or how delicious they are!
They are super moist, really chocolaty and oh so good. Whip up a batch to top with your favorite frosting. Or leave the frosting off and call them a muffin, I won’t judge!
Little Dude has been in a cupcake baking mood lately. I bought a big sleeve of cupcake wrappers when we were making his minion cupcakes for his birthday.
Now every time he sees them he thinks we should bake. So I finally gave in to his request. We have been enjoying banana cupcakes recently.
So to keep on trend when Camilla thought it would be fun to celebrate chocolate cake day the first thing that popped into my head was to remake these chocolate banana cupcakes.

Of course Little Dude wanted to help. So I narrated the recipe.
This is the perfect recipe for little helpers because it can be made in a mixing bowl with a spatula. He loves doing it himself.
His favorite part is putting the liners in the pan though. Sometimes it’s the simple things!
The last time I made them for a family dinner a couple of years ago. We placed the baked cupcakes in the waffle maker and cooked them a second time.
This gave them crispy edges and warm valleys to hold the melty ice cream from the sundaes we built on the still warm cupcake waffles.

As good as those were, this time we went a bit more traditional and frosted them with sweetened condensed milk buttercream. Little Dude thought they needed sprinkles, so he was in charge of decorating them.

My all time favorite chocolate cake is the devilishly good chocolate cake. The chocolate cherry fudge bundt is always good too. What is your favorite chocolate cake recipe?
