How to Make Banana Caramel Cupcakes
Set a stand mixer to medium speed and add the butter and sugar and mix until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs and milk and beat. Then, add the flour, baking powder, and soda and switch to low and blend.
Add in bananas and blend. Scrap side with a spatula and blend again until well mixed.
Line a 12 count muffin tin and fill about 3/4 full of batter.
Set the oven to 350 and cook for 20 minutes or until a toothpick tester comes out clean.
Take out of the oven and place on a rack to cool.
Add together the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and coffee creamer in a mixing bowl to make the frosting. Mix on low speed until well combined. Switch to a higher speed until thick and creamy.
Put the finished frosting in the fridge until cupcakes are ready.
When the cupcakes are cool, use a corer or sharp knife to take the middle of the cupcake out, but do not throw out the cores of the cupcake.
Fill the middle with caramel sauce and place the core back in the middle.
Add the frosting to a pipe bag and use a star tip to swirl the frosting on top of the cupcakes. Drizzle some more of the caramel sauce on top and place additional banana slices on top.
Serve or place in fridge until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Are There Real Bananas in the Cupcakes?
These Banana Caramel Cupcake use real bananas. They are mashed up and placed in the batter and baked for that banana flavor. Then, when the cupcakes are done, additional bananas are added on top.
