Perfect Banana Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cupcake pan with liners.

In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas with melted butter. Add in sugar, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk. Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until just combined. Gently incorporate mini chocolate chips.

Spoon into cupcake pan and bake 20-22 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool in pan for about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on wire baking rack.

For the frosting, in a large mixing bowl, beat butter until smooth. Add in cocoa powder, vanilla, salt, milk and powdered sugar. Continue beating until mixture is fully combined and there are no remaining lumps of sugar. Frost cupcakes.
