Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
On Sunday night I had brown bananas on the counter and I was craving something delicious. My go-to for bananas is usually banana bread or banana muffins. But I wanted cake. I wanted frosting. And I wanted the satisfaction of having my cake and eating it too.
So it was time to summon the baking gods and turn those brown bananas into greatness.
Light, fluffy, super moist banana cupcakes with cream cheese frosting greatness. The type of greatness in cupcake form that makes your Sunday night go from drab to fab. That makes you forget that mundane Monday is coming.
These banana cupcakes are just that great.
To finish it all off ? cream cheese frosting! MY FAVORITE!!!!! What could be more delicious?? I love the slight tang of the cream cheese, and it pairs so deliciously with the banana.
Make sure to use real butter and full-fat brick style cream cheese for extra creamy frosting that?s completely pipeable.
If you prefer a less sweet frosting ? I?d use 1/2 cup to 1 cup less powdered sugar. With less powdered sugar the frosting might not be quite thick enough to pipe, but completely delicious either way.
Ingredients
Instructions
For the Banana Cupcakes
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two muffin tins with muffin papers.
In a large bowl beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla and continue mixing until combined.
Turn down the mixer to low and mix in the mashed bananas.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
Gently mix the flour mixture into the banana mixture. Then beat in the milk.
Fill each muffin cavity about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
Bake in your preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes until an inserted tooth pick comes out clean.
For The Cream Cheese Frosting
In large bowl beat together the cream cheese & butter with an electric mixer until combined.
Turn down the mixer to low speed and add in the powdered sugar about 1/2 cup at a time until the desired sweetness level is reached.
If the icing is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of cream. Then turn the mixer up to medium-high speed and beat for 15 seconds.
Frost the cupcakes either using a piping bag or smearing the icing with a knife. Optionally, decorate with dried banana chips.
Recipe Notes
**1 and 1/2 cups of cake flour can be made by measuring 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour into a bowl. Remove 3 tablespoons of flour. Then add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and whisk to combine
