Banana Chocolate Cupcakes

Banana is a fruit filled with plenty of nutrients. Combining this with chocolate would only enhances the flavor and make these cupcakes delicious. I am not a chocolate lover hence reduced the sugar.

This recipe makes 12 muffins of normal size. I used the regular ripe green bananas available in India. These aren't large in size you could

Dry Ingredients:

Plain Flour - 1 cup
Regular Sugar - 1 cup
Cocoa Powder  - 3/4 cup
Baking Soda - 3/4 t.spn
Baking Powder - 3/4 t.spn
Salt - 1/4 t.spn

Wet Ingredients:

Ripe Banana - 2 - Mash well using a fork.
Oil - 1/4 cup (60 ml)
Milk - 1/4 cup (60 ml)
Water - 1/2 cup (120 ml)
Egg - 1
Vanilla Extract - 1 t.spn

Preparation:

Sift all dry ingredients, mix and set aside.
In a separate bowl beat egg and add other wet ingredients and whisk well.
Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and fold in gently. The batter would be of liquid consistency.
Pour into muffin tin or liners and bake for approx. 17 to 20 minutes. Oven should be preheated to 180 °C.

I got my muffins done at 18 minutes in convection. I baked in a muffin tray with 6 moulds. The baking time might vary slightly based on the type of oven.

This cupcake remains spongy even when refrigerated.
