All you need is:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Large bananas (mashed)
- 1 cup strawberries ( chopped into small pieces)
- 2¼ cup flour
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1½tsp baking powder
- ¼tsp baking soda
- 1tsp ground cinnamon
- ½tsp salt
Cream cheese frosting:
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup cream cheese
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cup icing sugar
Start by preheating the oven to 177℃ and prepare your cupcake tray with cases, this recipe makes 14 cupcakes.
Melt the butter (in saucepan or microwave) and set aside to cool.
Next mix together the eggs, vanilla, and mashed banana till combined, then add the melted butter and stir.
In another bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Fold the strawberries into the flour mixture.
Then add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir till combined.
Spoon the cupcake batter into the cases evenly and bake for 20-25 minutes. remove from oven and leave to cool on wire rack while you prepare the frosting.
for the frosting beat together the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla till creamy, then add in the icing sugar and beat till combined.
To decorate I used a knife to spread the frosting on to the cupcakes, nothing fancy I really prefer the homemade look.
