Categories     Cupcakes

Time 3h50m

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 and 1/2 cups mashed banana (about 3 large very ripe bananas)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk*
1 cup (180g) mini or regular semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 and 3/4 cups (210g) confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup (21g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2 Tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream or half-and-half*
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
salt, to taste
3/4 cup (185g) creamy peanut butter
4 Tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3/4 cup (90g) confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 Tablespoons (45ml) heavy cream or half-and-half*

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two 12-count muffin pans with 18 cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl on medium speed until creamed. About 2-3 minutes. With the mixer running on low speed, add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the mashed bananas and vanilla, beating on low speed for about 1 minute.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a medium bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 additions, stirring by hand after each addition. Add the milk and stir until combined. The batter will be lumpy. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into 18 cupcake liners. Fill the unused cups one-third full with water to prevent warping. Bake each batch for 17-19 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
  • Sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder to assure there are no lumps. Set aside. With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy - about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sifted sugar/cocoa powder alternately with the heavy cream and vanilla. Beat on low speed after each addition. Once all added, beat on high speed until creamy and combined for at least 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet.
  • With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the peanut butter and butter on medium speed until creamy and completely smooth - about 3 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Mix on medium until combined. Add the cream and mix on high until creamy, at least 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet.
  • Frost cooled cupcakes with a knife or with a piping bag/tip. If you'd like to just make 1 kind of frosting and not both, make sure you double the frosting recipe of your choice to make sure there is enough for all cupcakes. To swirl the two frostings like I did, here is how I made the swirl frosting. There may be leftover frosting depending how much you use on each cupcake. Decorate with banana slices and/or more chocolate chips if desired. Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days and in the refrigerator up to 5.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis Bio & Top Recipes

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium, ripe bananas
1 large egg
1/2 cup refined coconut oil, warmed and cooled slightly
3/4 cup coconut sugar
1/2 cup creamy unsweetened peanut butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup blanched almond flour
1/2 cup oat flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons creamy unsweetened peanut butter
1 teaspoon refined coconut oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
  • For the cupcakes: Place the bananas on a rimmed baking sheet and pierce each banana 3 times with the tip of a knife. Roast, unpeeled, until the skin is completely black and the flesh is soft, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Peel the bananas and place them in a medium bowl. Discard the peels. Mash the bananas with the back of a fork until smooth. Using the fork, stir in the egg, coconut oil, sugar, peanut butter, vanilla and salt. Mix well until smooth and fully incorporated. Add the almond flour, oat flour, baking soda and almond milk. Continue to stir with the fork until the mixture is smooth and all of the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tin for 15 minutes before removing the cupcakes to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze: In a medium bowl combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter and coconut oil. Place over a double boiler and stir until just a few chocolate chips remain. Remove the bowl from the heat and continue to stir until fully melted. Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the cooled cupcakes. Allow to cool for 1 hour before serving.

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and fluffy cupcake, ensure that all the ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This allows them to blend smoothly and evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough and dense cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use a high-quality cocoa powder. Additionally, melted chocolate can be added to the batter for an even richer taste.
  • To prevent the cupcakes from sticking to the pan, use cupcake liners or grease the pan thoroughly with butter or cooking spray.
  • For a gooey peanut butter center, use a smooth and creamy peanut butter. Additionally, chilling the peanut butter mixture before filling the cupcakes helps to prevent it from spreading too much.
  • For a sweeter filling, powdered sugar can be added to the peanut butter mixture.
  • To create a smooth and shiny ganache, ensure that the chocolate and cream are thoroughly melted and combined. Additionally, allowing the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it onto the cupcakes helps to prevent it from running off.
  • For a more decadent ganache, use a combination of dark and milk chocolate.
  • Garnish the cupcakes with chopped peanuts, peanut butter chips, or chocolate shavings for an added touch of flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

The combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and banana in these cupcakes creates a delightful and satisfying treat. With a moist and fluffy chocolate cupcake base, a gooey peanut butter center, and a rich chocolate ganache topping, these cupcakes are sure to impress. Whether you're a fan of classic chocolate peanut butter combinations or simply enjoy trying new and exciting flavors, these cupcakes are definitely worth a try. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet and indulgent treat, give these chocolate peanut butter and banana cupcakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
