Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cupcakes will be.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cupcake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients: This will help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cupcake.
- Bake the cupcakes at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent them from browning too quickly.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
