Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Banana Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lining a muffin tin with cheerful paper liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until everything is nicely blended.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, grab your electric mixer and cream together the white sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy—this is where the magic begins! Next, beat in the egg, followed by the mashed bananas, ensuring everything is well combined and bursting with flavor.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to bring the two mixtures together.
Step 5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the banana mixture in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk.
Step 6
Stir gently after each addition, just until everything is combined—no need to overmix! If you’re feeling indulgent, fold in some chocolate chips for an extra treat.
Step 7
Spoon the delightful batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full to allow for some lovely rising.
Step 8
Pop the tin into your preheated oven and bake for around 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Once baked, let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely—this should take about 30 minutes.
Step 10
While you wait, let’s whip up that luscious cream cheese frosting! In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of butter until smooth and creamy.
Step 11
Add in the vanilla extract and gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar, one cup at a time, until your frosting is perfectly creamy and irresistible.
Step 12
Once your cupcakes have cooled down, generously spread that delightful cream cheese frosting over each one, making them look as good as they taste.
Step 13
Enjoy your delicious creations, and don’t forget to share them with friends and family—they’ll love you for it!.
