How to Make King Cupcakes Banana And Peanut Butter

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs (or egg substitute equivalent) until well combined.
  4. Mash 2 ripe bananas and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. **Prepare the frosting:** In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, and 3 tablespoons softened butter until smooth and creamy.
  11. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until light and fluffy.
  12. Once cupcakes are completely cool, frost generously and enjoy!
