Number Of Ingredients 23

3/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1-3/4 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 4-5 medium)
1-1/2 cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

I'm not a big fan of bananas, but I actually really enjoyed these cupcakes. The caramel sauce is what really makes them.

These cupcakes are a great way to use up ripe bananas. I always have a few bananas that are about to go bad, so I love being able to turn them into something delicious.

I thought the cupcakes were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some spices to the batter next time.

These cupcakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter to the batter next time.

The sauce was a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll try cooking it down a bit longer next time.

I had some trouble getting the cupcakes to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These cupcakes are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar.
