How to Make Banana Split Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 20-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium), ½ cup water, ½ cup milk, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill cupcake liners about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), ½ cup unsalted butter (softened), and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Gradually add 3-4 cups powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add more powdered sugar if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Frost cooled cupcakes and top with your favorite banana split toppings (chocolate syrup, chopped nuts, maraschino cherries, etc.).
