Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium, ripe bananas

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor. Overripe bananas will give the cupcakes a sweeter taste.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy cupcake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough cupcakes.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in dry cupcakes.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have peanut butter frosting on hand, you can use another type of frosting, such as vanilla or chocolate.
