Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Continue beating until well combined and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in thirds, alternating with the milk. Continue mixing after each addition until just combined.
- Fold the mashed bananas into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating until well combined and fluffy.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, spread or pipe the cream cheese frosting on top of each cupcake.
- Your banana and cinnamon cupcakes are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Tips:
- Ensure the bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Sift the self-raising flour to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth batter.
- Bring the butter to room temperature for easy blending and a better texture.
- Use a toothpick to check if the cupcakes are done; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting with cream cheese to avoid melting the frosting.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top of the cream cheese frosting.
Banana and cinnamon cupcakes are not only delicious but also relatively simple to make. With just a handful of ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these aromatic and flavorful cupcakes in no time. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or after they've been generously frosted with cream cheese. Happy baking!
