Baked these Banana Walnut Cupcakes to thank the Doctors & Nurses of St Andrew's Community Hospital for taking care of my MIL during her stay there.

I have been craving for banana cake and suddenly I had this crazy idea of blending chocolate with banana cake (even though I am not a chocolate lover). Amazingly, it was a great combination. The sweetness from the banana cake went so well with the slight bitterness from the chocolate. Glad that I did this experiment.
