How to Make Banana Surprise Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Add ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 cup milk (any kind), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
- Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add 1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas and stir gently until evenly distributed.
- Do not overmix the batter.
- Fill each muffin cup about ⅓ full. For the surprise center, place 5-7 chocolate chips in the center of each cupcake. Top with the remaining batter, filling the cups about ¾ full.
- For banana chocolate chip cupcakes, fold in 1 cup chocolate chips along with the mashed bananas.
- Bake on the center rack for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Mini cupcakes will take approximately 13-15 minutes.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost and enjoy!
