Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
Two large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1-2 tablespoons milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 medium bananas)

Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
One at a time, beat in the eggs, followed by the mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract.
Mix in the dry ingredients slowly until just combined.
Fill the prepared muffin cups halfway with batter.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to completely cool before frosting them.
To make the frosting, cream the butter until it is smooth.
Mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until the desired consistency is reached.
The frosting should be spread or piped onto the cooled cupcakes.
Enjoy.
