WordPress Recent post only showing title

Have a look at the WP_Widget_Recent_Posts class in wp-includes/default-widgets.php to see how it is structured.

You can even copy and paste the class in your functions.php, rename it to something else and modify the class to display your images.

And don’t forget to add a register_widget('NameOfYourClassHere'); hooked to widgets_init.
