I make these banana bars with cream cheese frosting whenever I have ripe bananas on hand, then store them in the freezer to share later. With creamy frosting and big banana flavor, this treat is a real crowd-pleaser. —Debbie Knight, Marion, Iowa

HEALTHY BANANA CUPCAKES + CREAM CHEESE FROSTING | AMY'…



Healthy Banana Cupcakes + Cream Cheese Frosting | Amy'… image

These cupcakes look and taste fancy, just like what you’d buy from a bakery, but they’re much easier to make than you’d expect! The frosting can be made up to three days in advance if stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container, and the unfrosted cupcakes will keep for at least two days if stored in an airtight container on the counter (or longer, if refrigerated instead). Once frosted, the cupcakes are best if eaten within 24 hours.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups (240g) white whole wheat flour or gluten-free* flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp (14g) coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (260g) mashed banana ((about 2 large ripe bananas – see Notes!))
1 ½ tsp liquid stevia
½ cup + 2 tbsp (210mL) unsweetened cashew milk
cream cheese frosting, for serving ((see Notes!))

Steps:

  • To prepare the cupcakes, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners, and coat the liners with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, stir together the coconut oil, vanilla, and banana. Mix in the liquid stevia and 2 tablespoons of milk. Alternate between adding the flour mixture and the remaining milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, and stirring just until incorporated. (For best results, add the flour mixture in 3 equal parts.)
  • Divide the batter between the prepared paper liners. Bake at 350°F for 17-20 minutes or until the centers feel firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, top with cream cheese frosting just before serving.
