Banana and cinnamon cupcakes are a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of ripe bananas with the warmth of cinnamon. These cupcakes are perfect for any occasion, from a cozy afternoon snack to a festive party dessert. They are easy to make and sure to impress with their moist texture and delicious flavor.

Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
300g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1/4 cup milk (1% fat)
60g
1/2 cup butter
110g
2 eggs
100g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 bananas
240g
1 cup cream cheese
230g
2 tbsp powdered sugar
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Prepare the Batter:
- 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.
3. Add the Bananas:
- Fold the mashed bananas into the batter until evenly distributed.
4. Fill the Cupcake Liners:
- Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
5. Bake:
- 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.
6. Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating until well combined and fluffy.
7. Frost the Cupcakes:
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, spread or pipe the cream cheese frosting on top of each cupcake.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
- 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!
