BANANA MUFFINS WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Banana Muffins with Cream Cheese Frosting image

These Banana Muffins are easy to make and with the added cream cheese frosting make the perfect sweet breakfast, sweet treat, or dessert!

Provided by EmilyFabulous

Categories     Breakfast     Dessert     Snack

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg ((I used freshly ground nutmeg, optional))
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large ripe bananas
2/3 cup brown sugar ((light or dark))
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoon milk
6 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts ((optional))
1 cup cream cheese, room temp
½ cup confectioners powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cinnamon stick ((optional garnish))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a muffin pan with paper liners or non-stick spray. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and set aside.
  • Place the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium mixing bowl and mix together using a whisk or fork and set aside.
  • Peel and place the ripe bananas In a large mixing bowl (or in the bowl of your stand mixer or mix by hand) and beat on low until mashed and smooth.
  • Beat in the brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter on medium speed until everything has combined. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then beat or stir until just combined. Give the mixture a turn or two with your spatula/spoon and mix in the nuts by hand if you are adding them.
  • Place the batter in the muffin pan evenly across 12 sections. The cups should be almost full. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F and then reduce the temperature to 350°F. Don't open the door, just reduce the heat. This step will help the muffins rise in the pan and bake evenly. Continue baking for 15-18 more minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before placing them on a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Put the cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until everything is combined. The frosting will be thick and creamy so it doesn't pipe into shapes well.
  • If you want, you can pipe some of the frosting into the middle of the muffin before adding frosting to the top. I used my long piping tip to get some frosting in the middle and the same tip to make a pile of frosting on top. Dust the top with freshly grated cinnamon if desired and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins 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 muffin.
  • 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 muffins.
  • Fold in the nuts and bananas gently: This will help to prevent them from breaking up and becoming too mushy.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
