Yield Makes 28

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
3 large eggs
4 very ripe large bananas, mashed (about 2 cups), plus sliced bananas for garnish
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
Caramel Buttercream for Banana Cupcakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cream butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition.
  • Reduce speed to low. Mix mashed bananas, buttermilk, and vanilla in a bowl. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with wet ingredients and ending with dry. Scrape sides of bowl. Stir pecans into batter. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
  • Bake cupcakes until testers inserted into centers come out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool in tins on wire racks. (Unfrosted cupcakes will keep, covered, for up to 3 days.) Once cupcakes are cool, frost tops with caramel buttercream. Frosted cupcakes will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 days. Top with banana slices before serving.

These cupcakes were a disappointment. The cupcakes were dry and the frosting was too sweet. I won't be making these again.

These cupcakes were delicious! I made them for my husband's birthday and he loved them. The cupcakes were moist and fluffy, and the frosting was rich and creamy. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I would recommend using less sugar in the frosting next time.

I've tried many banana cupcake recipes and this one is by far the best. The cupcakes are moist and flavorful, and the caramel buttercream is the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making these again and again.

Not a fan. The cupcakes were dry and the frosting was gritty. I won't be making these again.
