Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Banana Cupcakes

These are fluffy chocolate chip banana cupcakes with a touch of cinnamon!
The difference between these banana cupcakes and my banana bread is that texture and the sweetness. Banana bread is more sticky sweet and the texture is less fluffy. The chocolate chip cinnamon banana cupcakes are fluffy and less sweet, loaded with chocolate and are perfect for icing!

Ice with peanut butter icing – 1/2 cup peanut butter and 3 tbs powdered sugar!

Grocery Tips
When I buy bananas for the family I always buy extra so I have overripe bananas by the weekend. Do not use green or yellow green or even yellow bananas. You need to use overripe soft spotty bananas for this recipe. It gives the best texture and sweetness to any banana bread recipe!

What you’ll need:

• bananas – you could use 3 and the ripe the better
• white sugar 
• brown sugar
• Butter – use a light cooking oil in replace like canola or vegatable
• Eggs
• vanilla
• flour
• cinnamon
• baking soda
• baking powder
• salt
• mini chocolate chips – I generally only us mini chips when baking for the perfect distribution 

Method
Mash bananas and beat in white sugar and brown sugar, add the vanilla, combine well. Mix in the butter and then beat in the eggs until smooth, set aside. In another bowl whisk together all the ingredients until combined. Give the banana mixture one last good stir to combine sugars more. Slowly add the dry to the banana mixture, mixing well until smooth. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
