How to Make Banana Cupcakes With Honey Cinnamon Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth. Add sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- **For the Honey Cinnamon Frosting:** In a medium bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and honey, beating until smooth and creamy. Stir in cinnamon.
- Once cupcakes are completely cool, frost with honey cinnamon frosting.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
