Ingredients:
125g Self Raising Flour
125g Unsalted Butter (At room temp)
125g Golden Caster Sugar
1 tsp Baking Powder or Bicarbonate of soda
3 Eggs
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
2 Bananas
4 tbsp Milk
Caramel Sauce
Vanilla Buttercream
12 Walnuts
How to:
Start by heating your oven to 180°C and line your cupcake tin with cupcake cases and set aside.
Peel both bananas and mash with a fork until there are no lumps and set aside.
In a bowl add the sugar and butter and whisk for 2 minutes to cream, add the eggs one at a time and whisk until all is combined. Add the vanilla extract, mashed bananas and milk and whisk until all ingredients are incorporated.
In a separate bowl add the baking powder to the flour and whisk so it's all distributed evenly. Add half the flour into the wet mixture and fold until combined, then do the same with the other half. If your mix is looking too dry then add another tablespoon of milk until you are happy with the consistency.
Spoon the mix into the cupcake cases. This mix makes 12 cupcakes, when spooning your mix into the cases I’d use about a 1 ½ tablespoons of mixture for each cupcake. Bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes or until fully cooked.
Once cooked the cupcakes will need to be removed from the cake tray and left to cool for around 20 minutes. Once cooled, pipe on vanilla buttercream, top with a walnut and finish with a drizzle of caramel sauce.
This recipe was adapted after the huge banana bread trend back in 2020 during the COVID pandemic which seemed everyone was baking banana bread, I wanted to create something different.
If you're a fan of banana bread then this recipe will be right up your street. Think of these cupcakes as mini banana breads, just made 10X better with creamy vanilla buttercream and caramel sauce!
For this recipe I have used shop bought vanilla buttercream but making your own butter cream is completely optional. Fun fact about me is that I absolutely hate making buttercream. Why? I have no idea…
I did however use my own caramel sauce recipe which I will be uploading a recipe for soon so keep an eye out if you're interested.
