CHUNKY MONKEY PANCAKES

Steps:

• 1. On a greased griddle or large skillet, ladle about 1/4 cup batter to make a large pancake, about 9 inches in diameter. Once bubbles start to appear on the surface, sprinkle half of the chocolate chips and walnuts on top of the pancake. Flip the pancake when golden brown, and cook until set. Transfer to a plate. Repeat to make another pancake.
• 2. While the pancakes cook, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or to taste over the whole bananas.
• Melt the butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. When the foam subsides, place the bananas in the pan and saute, turning, until tender.
• 3. Wrap each banana in a chocolate chip pancake. Garnish with whipped cream and confectioners' sugar.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• Mash bananas with milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Mix butter and sugar together with a spatula until creamy. Whisk in eggs, 1 at a time, then whisk in the banana mixture. Add walnuts, chocolate, and the flour mixture. Mix batter with a spatula until no dry spots remain.
• Fill muffin cups to the top with batter, then distribute excess batter as needed. Tap pan against the counter to expel any air bubbles.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops are lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Let cupcakes cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
• Pour hot cream over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for a few minutes, then whisk, increasing speed gradually, until color is uniform. Spread ganache over the cooled cupcakes and garnish with banana chips. Refrigerate to firm up the frosting, if desired.
