This is a light cupcake, NOT a muffin! Peanut butter icing is yummy but you only need a little, otherwise it overpowers the cupcake. Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup mashed ripe banana |
1/4 cup buttermilk |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup peanut butter, softened |
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
3 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla, bananas and buttermilk. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to banana mixture. Fill 16 paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
2. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
3. In a small mixing bowl, cream the peanutbutter, sugar and enough milk to achieve desired spreading consistency. Frost cupcakes.
