Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cupcakes will be. If your bananas aren't ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear for a few days.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full: This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing and making a mess in your oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes: Or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: Or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
