Chocolate Banana Cupcakes

My kids never complain about banana cupcakes, especially if there are chocolate chips involved.  These wonderfully chocolate individual cakes are perfect for the lunch box or as an afternoon snack.  Adding the chips to the top of each cupcake helps stretch them further and makes sure they are evenly distributed.  Boy, they smell really good when they come out of the oven!

I swear we are soul sisters. I just took a banana-chocolate chip bread out of the oven and sat down to check my YouTube subscriptions while waiting for it to cool. I laughed right out loud when I saw your video. So let's see; that's labs, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Stampin' Up!, and a general love of cooking and baking that we have in common. Do you like coffee? Let's get together for a cup. We can do it via webcam or Skype.

Wow! These look fantastic. I have a small fetish with all things chocolate chips and adding them to banana bread is a favorite of mine. This recipe intrigues me. I have never seen corn syrup in a muffin recipe. What is the direct benefit of corn syrup in a baked good?

I would love to see a post for Thanksgiving place cards!
