Banana Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Buttercream

ByLizzy Mae Early



Banana Cakes:
3 ripe bananas (1 ½ cups)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 ¼ cup sugar
¾ cup tablespoons butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
3 cups four
1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups butter milk
(I use 1 ½ cup milk and 1 ½ teaspoon lemon juice)
Cinnamon Cream Cheese Buttercream:
½ cup butter
8 oz cream cheese
2-3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 teaspoons cinnamon
Directions:
1.     Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2.    In a small bowl, mash bananas and stir in lemon juice.  Set aside.
3.    In a separate bowl, beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
4.    Add eggs to sugar and butter, then add vanilla.
5.    In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt together.  Slowly add to wet ingredients.
6.   Stir in buttermilk and mashed bananas.
7.    Spoon into cupcakes liners and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
8.   Place cupcakes straight into the freezer for 15 minutes.  (Sounds crazy I know.)
9.   Buttercream: Beat butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy.  It will take at least 4 minutes.  Add vanilla and cinnamon.  Slowly add as much powdered sugar as desired, then beat for a few additional minutes.
10.Pipe onto cooled cupcakes.

  2. These look amazing! I wish I were eating one right now! I just started blogging last month and am having fun. 🙂 Are you a part of foodbuzz.com? I think you take great pictures and would do really well there.

  4. Welcome! You are really going to love it there. Find Chef Dennis and friend him. He has a lot of info on his blog about how foodbuzz works.

  5. Now THIS is what I'm talkin' about 🙂 I'm slightly obsessed with bananas in baked goods at the moment.

    You have a lovely blog, also. Can't wait to see more!

  6. Following this recipe was a little difficult? Is it tablespoon or cup for the butter? And at 275 degrees, it took much longer than 20 minutes to bake. Also, i’m assuming it’s 3 cups flour?? Other than that, they turned out delish!

  8. Are these really supposed to bake at 275??? I have them in right now, they’ve been in for 20 mins and are still really raw. I’m turning it up to 350, but wondering if it’s me or a typo.

  10. Very nice service you offers for me. Thanks. Burberry Check Print Wallets Black With Zips has become one of my favorites

  13. The recipe calls for “3/4 cup tablespoons butter” so I am unsure if I am to use cups or tablespoons. Please clarify 🙂
