banana cupcake recipe

My banana cupcake recipe yields the best moist cupcakes you&#039;ll ever try in under 60 minutes!  Recipe includes a how-to video!

Banana Cupcake Recipe

½ cups well-mashed (very ripe bananas (this is typically 3 bananas for me) (350 grams))

unsalted butter

vegetable oil

sugar ((133 grams))

light brown sugar (firmly packed (100 grams))

eggs (room temperature preferred)

Tablespoon vanilla extract

buttermilk (60 milliliters room temperature preferred (click the link to make a buttermilk substitute if needed))

all-purpose flour ((250 grams))

baking powder

baking soda

salt

brown butter frosting

Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and line a 12-count cupcake tin with paper liners. Set aside.

Make sure bananas are very well mashed (I often start with a fork or potato masher and then switch over to my mixer) then add melted butter, oil, and sugars and stir very well to combine.

Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir well, then stir in buttermilk.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add dry ingredients to batter and use a spatula to gently fold together until combined. Batter should be completely combined, but don’t over-mix or your cupcakes may be dense and dry!

Portion batter into cupcake liners, filling each ¾ full. If you have extra batter, discard or make additional cupcakes.

Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake for 17-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely before frosting with my brown butter frosting (or see other options in my notes).

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum. Most arthropods, vertebrates, and mollusks lay eggs, although some do not, such as scorpions and most mammals. Reproductive structures...

Sugar is the generalized name for sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. They are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare two muffin tins by lining them with paper liners.

Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then set aside.

In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the mashed bananas, egg yolks, and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Gently fold in ⅓ of the egg white mixture.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites.

Fill paper baking cups half full and bake 11-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove and let cool completely.

To make the frosting, beat together the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar slowly and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and cinnamon.

If necessary, add more powdered sugar until the frosting is firm enough to hold its shape but still light and fluffy. Frost the cooled cupcakes and enjoy!
