Banana Chocolate Chip Cupcakes transform a boxed cake mix into a delightful banana treat!
I had some over-ripe bananas the other day so I set out to find something quick and easy to do with them. I ran across this recipe for Betty Crocker Banana Chocolate Chip Cupcakes on the Betty Crocker website and decided to give them a try.
The very first cook book I bought after I got married was by Betty Crocker, and I have been pleased with it for the most part.
Didn’t mean to get off on a tangent, just reminiscing over here. There is nothing better than making a dish for the first time and it coming out good, and everyone you are serving it to likes it.
On the other hand, I have made plenty of dishes that were a huge disappointment. It just comes with the territory, I suppose.
Anyhoo, I like making cakes and other baked goods from scratch, but I see nothing wrong with using packaged mixes sometimes.
Especially this recipe, adding the bananas makes it taste like a homemade recipe. This is the first time I have mixed banana something with chocolate and I must say that is was a good match.
These go really great with a cup of coffee.

Ooh! We do banana cupcakes sometimes, never thought to cut a lil’ corner and do a box, well played! We also never thought to add chocolate chips, but that will be remedied in the future. Thanks for the inspiration.
Lee always says, “My wife made this from scratch, she scratched open the box”. Haha! Thanks for stopping by!
Nothing is quite like chocolate frosting on a cupcake! These banana chocolate chip cupcakes look absolutely divine!
I wasn’t sure I would like the combo of banana and chocolate, but it worked really well together. Thanks for stopping by!
