How to cook deliciously - Chunky Monkey Cupcakes

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.

2. Stage

Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.

3. Stage

Mash bananas with milk and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Stage

Mix butter and sugar together with a spatula until creamy. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, then whisk in banana mixture. Add walnuts, chocolate, and flour mixture. Mix batter with a spatula until no dry spots remain.

5. Stage

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