Adapted from Wilton...we made them a little bigger and used big bananas. Very moist and delicious.
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened (1 1/2 sticks)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup sour cream
frosting (your favorite)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven 350°F.
2. In large bowl, cream butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy.
3. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
4. Add eggs, vanilla and banana; mix well.
5. Add flour mixture alternately with sour cream; blend thoroughly but do not over-mix.
6. Pour into paper lined cupcake pans. We fill them almost to the top for big cupcakes with muffin tops .
7. Bake 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. Cool 10 minutes in pan on rack; remove and cool completely before frosting as desired.
9. (We used half of a container of vanilla frosting with some banana extract. Cream cheese frosting would also work well here.).
