One of my kiddos faves! Based on a Martha Stewart recipe and tweaked to my "monkeys" tastes! You can frost them with the cinnamon honey frosting (recipe below) or chocolate ganache...yum!
1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 ripe bananas)
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Make a well in center of flour mixture. In well, mix together butter, mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla. Stir to incorporate flour mixture (do not overmix). Fold in chocolate chips.Dividing evenly, spoon batter into muffin cups.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cupcake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan; cool completely on a wire rack. When ready to serve, frost cupcakes with frosting.
Cinnamon Honey Frosting

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
