Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting



Ingredients
  • 2-2/3 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1-1/2 sticks butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (milk or coconut milk can be used here as well)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
Directions
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with a kitchen mixer using paddle attachment. Add sugar and beat for a few minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time while continue to beat at low speed and vanilla. The mixture will be silky smooth – add banana and lower speed.
  • Mix in the flour and buttermilk alternatively, beginning and ending with the flour.
  • Fill into cupcake pans (fill up about 2/3-full, you should get approximately 18 cupcakes), bake them for about 18-minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Alternatively, you can also bake these as layered cakes, pour into 2  9-inch pans, and bake for 45 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes in pan before inverting on wire rack to cool.
  • The cupcakes can be stored in room temperature for up to 2 days, or they will become dense and unappealing!
 Yield: ~18 cupcakes
