Ingredients:
1 box of yellow cake mix
1 1/4 cups sour cream
3 ripe bananas mashed
3 eggs
1/4 canola oil
1 cup chocolate chips (I used mini chips)
1 cup baking coconut flakes
**Adapted from Kraft Recipes
Directions:
Mix the eggs, bananas, sour cream and oil with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the cake mix and mix until fully incorporated together. Finally add the chocolate chips and coconut and mix into batter. Then add cupcake liners (I recommend foil liners) in cupcake pans and fill 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 19-23 minutes or until done. You can eat them just as they are without any frosting. Enjoy.
Whipped Chocolate Frosting:
1 cup chocolate chips
1 Tbs milk or half and half
2 cups prepared whipped topping or COOL WHIP.
Melt chocolate over double boiler or in microwave with milk or half and half. When chocolate starts to melt, stir well until smooth. Allow chocolate to cool a bit before mixing with whipped topping. Allow Frosting to set up in fridge for 30 minutes before frosting cupcakes. I suggest you frost as many cupcakes as you need at a time because this frosting does not do well sitting out. You can always use a prepared canned frosting or make a buttercream frosting. Enjoy.

I love that you bake more and more, Ramona :) Your cupcakes look fabulous! PS: For me frosting would never be optional, especially a coconut one :) Have a fabulous weekend, sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! Such great cupcakes and I LOVE the flavors!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'll take mine with frosting, please!!! Have a lovely weekend, Ramona!
ReplyDeleteYou and I are on the same wavelength. I was just looking at recipes last night for banana cupcakes or muffins because I, too, have a stash of bananas and sour cream that I need to use up! These look delicious!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like my mom with the expiration dates. I am kind of the same way although I deny it to my husband. It is OK with me though as long as it comes with these cupcakes...twice in one week no less :) They look amazing; I want the frosting.
ReplyDeleteThese cupcakes look ridiculously delicious - frosting is definitely not optional my friend ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos!

ReplyDeleteYummy all the way around and frosting is a must.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of a cake mix, Ramona! Love banana and chocolate together! Coconut just makes it perfect! :)
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish to have these cupcakes for my breakfast. I actually like the cupcakes without icing (so it's not too sweet) but my kids will love it.
ReplyDeleteYum, Ramona! I think I'd prefer them naked but hey, kids will be kids :-) I always find that I have an excess of dairy products like that in my fridge, too. Maybe I should go make some of these later! Thanks for sharing, my dear.
