Sticky, moist banana cupcakes. A simple cupcake but one in which you savor each and every bite! A great bake when you have leftover over ripe bananas sat in your fruit bowl.
Ultra ripe bananas are key to the cupcake’s flavor. I know most people would throw away Brown, heavily spotted bananas, but they make the very best banana cupcakes.
The cupcakes are some of the moistest cupcakes I have ever made. They’re soft, light and have that perfect flavor that reminds you of banana bread, but they still have the texture of a cupcake. Even without the frosting, these cupcakes are full of flavor. Sweet banana with a hint of cinnamon, yum!
Even a few days after baking these banana cupcakes are still incredibly moist and soft and YES I used this as an excuse to eat them unfrosted for breakfast.
Now lets talk frosting. Banana and peanut butter are a classic combo, but to take it one step further have used Reese’s Chocolate peanut butter in this recipe. Lick the spoon clean- Delightful! Regular smooth peanut butter works really well too.

Easy to make, delightful banana cake that will have you going back for more.
115g Reese's Chocolate Peanut Butter ( or regular smooth)
3 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat the over to 180 degrees and line a muffin tin with paper cases of your choice.
Add the eggs and sugar to a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until the mix becomes thick and pale. (This will take around 5 minutes)
Next add the oil and vanilla and beat until combined and smooth.
Add the flour, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon. Mix on a low speed until combine.
Now add the mashed banana and mix well.
Divide the mix between muffin cases and bake for 20-25 mins. They should be a rich golden brown and when a skewer is inserted it should come out clean.
Allow to cool completely before frosting.
For the Frosting
Put the butter and half the icing sugar in a bowl and beat with mixer until soft and combined.
Add the remaining icing sugar and milk and beat for 3-5 mins until combined.
