These one-bowl banana cupcakes are quick, easy, and delicious. They are based on one of my favorite recipes from Grandma’s recipe book and I top them with cream cheese frosting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Banana<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is a perfect recipe to make if you have some overripe bananas sitting around in your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Bananas\"<\/a>
This banana isn’t ripe enough.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This recipe uses all basic pantry ingredients that you may already have in your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use super ripe – almost black – bananas<\/strong>. If you don’t have any ripe bananas around, you can peel your bananas and microwave them until they they get super soft, almost liquidy (this typically takes about 45 seconds). This will make them nice and sweet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add spices!<\/strong> Myles and I like to put cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and cardamom in our banana cupcakes. If you don’t like any of these spices, simply leave them off. We highly recommend you try them, though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sour cream gives the cupcakes just a tiny tang of tartness. You can also replace it with yogurt if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How It’s Made<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is such a simple recipe! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in the same bowl, mix butter and sugar, then mix in eggs, then mix in sour cream, flour, baking soda, and spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, mix in vanilla and mashed bananas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adding<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Frost with your favorite frosting. While I use vanilla cream cheese frosting<\/a><\/strong>, you can frost the cupcakes with any frosting that you choose. They are amazing with cinnamon cream cheese frosting<\/a>, peanut butter frosting<\/a>, chocolate cream cheese frosting<\/a>, or my strawberry whipped cream frosting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I top mine with a light dusting of cinnamon sugar and a dried banana chip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert Tips and FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Can I make these as a cake?<\/strong>
