Wishing all my readers a very happy and peaceful new year!. I made these fancy chocolate banana split cupcakes last week for my friend's daughter's birthday. I got the original recipe from here but made some changes to bake an egg less version of the same. The cupcakes were a super hit with everyone. I only wished it made 12 cupcakes because I just got 8 of them and it was all gone in no time.

Recipe
Eggless Chocolate Banana Split Cupcakes
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 and ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup mashed banana
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- milk optional
Add-ons:
- ½ cup toasted and chopped pecans
- 4 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips
- As needed cherries, chocolate sprinkles for topping
Substitutes:
- melted butter - any oil of your choice
- buttermilk - ½ cup milk dairy or non-dairy mixed with ¼ teaspoon of vinegar
- pecans - walnuts or any other nut of your choice
- chocolate chips - milk chocolate bars or vegan chocolate chips
Frosting:
- ¾ cup confectioner's sugar
- ½ tablespoon melted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl mix together dry ingredients and set aside.
- In another bowl stir together the wet ingredients.
- Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped nuts. I added 2 tablespoons of milk because I felt that the batter was quite thick.
- Place a tablespoon of the batter in a muffin cup. Top it with ½ tablespoon of chocolate chips and fill the cup with two-thirds full of batter. Repeat the same for the remaining batter too. I got only 8 cupcakes.
- Bake the cupcakes for 20-25 minutes or a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Mine was done in 20 minutes. Cool it on a wire rack completely before frosting.
- For frosting, combine all the ingredients together (and some more sugar or milk as needed) to achieve a spreading consistency. Frost cupcakes, top it with some chocolate sprinkles and a cherry.
My Notes
- The original recipe called for milk chocolate bars to be placed in the center which I replaced with chocolate chips.
- You can totally make these cupcakes vegan by using the substitutes I have given above.
