How to Make Banana Cupcakes With Orange Cream Cheese Glaze
- 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 oil, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pecans (if using).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill cupcake liners about ⅔ full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, orange zest, and orange juice, mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Once cupcakes are completely cool, frost generously with the orange cream cheese glaze.
