Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 very ripe large bananas, mashed (about 2 cups), plus sliced bananas for garnish
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • Caramel Buttercream for Banana Cupcakes

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cream butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition.

Reduce speed to low. Mix mashed bananas, buttermilk, and vanilla in a bowl. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with wet ingredients and ending with dry. Scrape sides of bowl. Stir pecans into batter. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.

Bake cupcakes until testers inserted into centers come out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool in tins on wire racks. (Unfrosted cupcakes will keep, covered, for up to 3 days.) Once cupcakes are cool, frost tops with caramel buttercream. Frosted cupcakes will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 days. Top with banana slices before serving.

                We LOVED these cupcakes!  Moist, and the smell of them baking was to die for.  Yum!  :)

                I thought this was pretty good; you can make a 3 banana recipe if you make a "combine" with this recipe, as they are essentially the same: http://www.marthastewart.com/341918/banana-cake
                
                I put a few chocolate chips in the batter, and frosted with chocolate frosting...so good!

                I added a drop of raspberry flavoring to the buttercream frosting and it was AMAZING. But the cupcakes are more like light muffins. But overall delicious

                These are delicious.  They seem a little like muffins to me, but more like cupcakes after they're frosted.
