Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Before you start, preheat your oven to 350°F or 175°C. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside. In another bowl, mix the mashed bananas, sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk it well until it becomes smooth and creamy.
Now, gradually add the flour mixture to the banana mixture, while stirring continuously. When the flour is completely mixed, add the milk and continue stirring. Pour the batter into a muffin tin with liners, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake the cupcakes for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove them from the oven and cool them on a wire rack before frosting.
Cinnamon Honey Butter Cream:
To make the butter cream frosting, cream the butter until it’s light and fluffy. Add the honey and cinnamon, and beat the mixture until it becomes smooth. Make sure to taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness level to your liking. If needed, add more honey or sugar.
Once the cupcakes have cooled down, pipe the frosting onto each cupcake. Make sure the frosting is not too soft, so it won’t fall off the cupcakes. You can use a piping bag or just a knife to spread the frosting. Decorate as desired with additional cinnamon sprinkles or banana slices.
