Banana Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting image

I was inspired by a few different banana cupcake recipes before settling on this one. The cream cheese frosting is probably my favorite part; it's just wonderfully decadent on a banana cupcake. Refrigerate cupcakes after frosting. P.S. They taste much better the next day!

Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
½ cup white sugar
6 tablespoons lightly packed brown sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 egg
2 ripe bananas, mashed
⅓ cup buttermilk
½ cup chocolate chips, or to taste
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Combine white sugar, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup butter in another bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in egg. Mix in mashed bananas. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with buttermilk, stirring after each addition. Fold chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool cupcakes on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
  • Beat cream cheese and 3 tablespoons butter in a bowl until smooth. Add vanilla extract. Beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, until frosting is smooth.
  • Spread frosting over cupcakes.
