Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 bananas)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
  • Banana slices (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine Bananas and Sour Cream: Mix in the mashed bananas and sour cream until well combined.
  • Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  • Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Frost and Garnish: Once the cupcakes are cool, frost with creamy peanut butter, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Garnish with banana slices.

Notes

  • For an extra touch of flavor, you can fold some chopped bananas into the batter before baking.
  • If you prefer, you can use store-bought frosting or make your own peanut butter frosting to top the cupcakes.
