Ingredients
Banana Cupcakes
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cup mashed bananas (about 5 small, or 3 medium bananas)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
Brown Sugar Buttercream Frosting
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup butter (softened) (2 sticks)
- 1 cup dark brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 1 tablespoon raw sugar (sugar in the raw) (optional)
Instructions
Banana Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line muffin tin with wrappers, set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the bananas, oil, vanilla and egg.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix until JUST combined (don't overmix it)
- Scoop batter into 12 cupcake liners. I used a large cookie scoop to do this, but aim for 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18 minutes, or until they spring back when you touch them lightly.
- Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then set on a wire cooling rack until completely cool. Frost.
Brown Sugar Buttercream Frosting
- In a saucepan, whisk together the flour and milk and cook over medium heat, whisking continuously until thickened to a smooth paste.
- Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla and let cool to room temp.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the wire whisk, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. There should be no grittiness.
- Add in the milk mixture and beat it on high speed until you get a whipped cream consistency.
- Frost cupcakes, and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
