I've always loved eating peanut butter & banana sandwiches - zapped in the microwave before consuming. So when i thought of making cupcakes in a similar style - i got really excited ! Trish had made some banana cupcakes for me for my birthday, so i've used her recipe, and made up my own PB frosting.
Cupcakes 125g unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups soft, brown sugar
2 very ripe bananas (medium size), mashed
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda
Pinch of salt
- Preheat oven to 160 deg C. Line your muffin tin with paper cases.
- Mix together mashed bananas, butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly add buttermilk.
- In another bowl, sift flour, bicardbonate soda, and salt. Add this to the wet ingredients and mix to combine.
- Divide batter evenly on to the prepared muffin tin. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Cool on rack.

PB Frosting
1 cup softened butter
1 cup crunchy PB (or you can use smooth, whatever you have in the pantry)
4 cups icing sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
Beat everything well together, & frost cupcakes.
Everyone who tried these loved them, & they are pretty moist as well. Since i used crunchy PB, there was soft & crunchy bits when you're chewing i love it hehe.

Hey, wonderful idea to put peanut butter in the frosting - it makes a nice change from the usual cream cheese that usually goes with banana cake.
Glad they turned out really great, Betty! This is my go-to banana cupcakes recipe - it's just so reliable and incredibly delicious!!!
