Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 medium bananas)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 units Eggs, large
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar (for frosting)
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter (for frosting)
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for frosting, as needed)
• 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and creamy peanut butter until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until the batter is smooth.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the cupcakes cool, make the frosting. In a large bowl, whip the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until creamy.

Step 9

Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.

Step 10

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the peanut butter frosting using a piping bag or an offset spatula. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top if desired for an extra crunch.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your King Cupcakes inspired by banana and peanut butter!
