BANANA CUPCAKES WITH PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Mash bananas with a fork in another medium bowl until smooth. Mix sour cream and vanilla extract into bananas.
• Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and egg yolk and beat until well blended. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with banana mixture, beating batter briefly after each addition until just blended. Scoop batter into the prepared muffin cups, adding about a generous 1/4 cup in each.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sift powdered sugar into a large bowl. Add cream cheese, butter, and peanut butter; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Spread or pipe frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.

BANANA LAYER CAKE WITH FLUFFY PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour two 8" round cake pans and set them aside.
• To a large bowl add the mashed bananas, the buttermilk, and the eggs, and whisk them together until they're combined. Stir in the canola oil and then the sugar.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt to a separate bowl and whisk until combined. Add the dry ingredients into the banana mixture and fold them together with a rubber spatula just until no more streaks of flour remain. Do not over-mix or you'll create too many air bubbles in your batter which causes a problem called tunnelling (if you can see long, gaping holes in your baked cake, it means you have over-mixed!).
• Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the cakes comes out clean.
• Let the cakes cool in their pans for about 5 minutes and then gently turn them out upside down onto wire racks to cool.
• While the cakes are cooling, begin to prepare the frosting by whipping the butter and the peanut butter on high speed until they're well combined and nice and fluffy.
• Add the powdered sugar about a cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl periodically so that all the powdered sugar gets into the frosting.
• Add the whole milk one tablespoon at a time, whipping well after each addition. Continue whipping until the frosting reaches a gorgeous light and fluffy texture that's perfectly spreadable. You may need to add slightly less or slightly more milk depending on what kind of butter and/or peanut butter you use, so it's a good idea to watch closely as you're whipping to ensure you create frosting with a spreadable texture.
• Once the cake has cooled, cut each layer in half horizontally using a sharp serrated knife, making sure to turn the cake layer as you cut to create layers as even as possible. If cutting cake layers freaks you out, I guarantee this cake will taste just as amazing as a two-layer cake, so feel free to skip this part altogether!
• Frost the cake, making sure to spread a nice thick, even layer of frosting between each of the layers. When making layer cakes I like to add my layers upside down so the flat end is facing upward. This creates a more even top and helps the cake stay straight.
• Frost the top and sides of the cake, creating a simple swirl pattern if you wish.
• Add the crushed peanuts to the top of the banana layer cake and press them into the frosting just slightly with your palm.

PEANUT BUTTER BANANA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• TO MAKE THE CUPCAKES:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
• 2. Beat butter and sugar until light in color and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
• 3. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
• 4. Add egg white and egg in two batches, mixing until combined after each.
• 5. Combine dry ingredients in another bowl, then combine mashed bananas, milk and water in another bowl.
• 6. Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until well combined.
• 7. Add the milk and banana mixture and mix until well combined.
• 8. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
• 9. Fill cupcake liners about halfway. Bake for 17-19 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs.
• 10. Remove cupcakes from oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes, then remove to cooling rack to finish cooling. TO MAKE THE FROSTING:
• Beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
• 2. Add the peanut butter and mix until smooth.
• 3. Add half of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.

BANANA CUPCAKES WITH CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two 12-count muffin pans with 18 cupcake liners. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl on medium speed until creamed. About 2-3 minutes. With the mixer running on low speed, add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the mashed bananas and vanilla, beating on low speed for about 1 minute.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a medium bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 additions, stirring by hand after each addition. Add the milk and stir until combined. The batter will be lumpy. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Spoon the batter evenly into 18 cupcake liners. Fill the unused cups one-third full with water to prevent warping. Bake each batch for 17-19 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
• Sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder to assure there are no lumps. Set aside. With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy - about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sifted sugar/cocoa powder alternately with the heavy cream and vanilla. Beat on low speed after each addition. Once all added, beat on high speed until creamy and combined for at least 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet.
• With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the peanut butter and butter on medium speed until creamy and completely smooth - about 3 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Mix on medium until combined. Add the cream and mix on high until creamy, at least 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet.
• Frost cooled cupcakes with a knife or with a piping bag/tip. If you'd like to just make 1 kind of frosting and not both, make sure you double the frosting recipe of your choice to make sure there is enough for all cupcakes. To swirl the two frostings like I did, here is how I made the swirl frosting. There may be leftover frosting depending how much you use on each cupcake. Decorate with banana slices and/or more chocolate chips if desired. Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days and in the refrigerator up to 5.
