CHUNKY MONKEY CUPCAKES



Chunky Monkey Cupcakes image

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.

½ cup butter, softened

For Garnish:

Steps:

  • Preheat 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.

  • Fill muffin cups to the top with batter, then distribute excess batter as needed. Tap pan against the counter to expel any air bubbles.

MARTHA STEWART BANANA-WALNUT CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES



Martha Stewart Banana-Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies image

Honestly, I'm not a big Martha fan. But a friend got me a free subscription to Martha's magazine. Normally I thumb through it and toss it within 2 or 3 minutes. One month, this recipe on the last page caught my eye. With a title like this, how could I not save it?!?! I just made it today (am actually in the middle of baking as I type) and it is AMAZING! If I had more chocolate, I'd be baking another batch instead of posting this....

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.
