Peel and mash the banana if it is over-riped otherwise use blender to mash the banana well and make it a paste.
Now add oil,vanilla and sugar to banana mash and mix well. Keep it to aside.

Now mix the flour,baking powder,baking soda in another bowl. Mix it with the help of a hand whisk.

After mixing properly make a dent and pour the banana mixture in the dent.

Fold gently,do not over mix,just mix well so that everything blends properly.
Make sure not to use electric beater to mix the cake batter.
Now add 1/4 cup of walnuts to the batter.

Line the muffin tray with paper liners and spoon the batter in it up to 3/4 th of it.
Sprinkle some walnut over the cupcakes.

Cupcakes will rise a bit so make sure to leave some room for it.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean and top turns golden brown.
I made fun sized cakes, so they came out in 20 minutes.

But the one normal size cupcake took 27 minutes to bake.
Once baked, keep the cupcakes one rack to cool down before serving.

Cupcakes are ready to be served as dessert for the parties!!!!
