Easy Banana cupcake recipe

Hello all my friends around the world!! I was in my kitchen today and noticed my bananas were turning brown and instead of tossing them out ( cuz that's just wasteful)! I decided to do some good old fashion baking and made some yummy banana cupcakes! This recipe is really easy to do and the prep time takes no more than 10 minutes. Feel free to make this recipe your own by adding extra things like I did with the cinnamon ( I would of tossed in some ginger as well, but I couldn't find any in my cubbard) so here is how I did it...hope you enjoy:

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
  • 3/4 cup sugar ( I used carnations brown sugar, but that's because I was out of regular sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 ripe bananas)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A dash of ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until smooth batter like consistency (there might be chunks of banana in there, that's okay too, just as long as all ingredient are mixed together well).
  2. Using an ice cream scooper, spoon batter into muffin cups.
  3. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cupcake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan; cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, spread frosting of choice or enjoy as a muffin :)
