Banana Cupcakes...created for Kitiyari by Disco

I created this recipe for my best friend, Kitiyari, because she loves bananas!

What You'll Need:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 ripe bananas mashed
• 3/4 cup sour cream

Prep and Baking

Preheat oven 350°F. 

In large bowl, cream butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. 

In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Add eggs, vanilla and banana; mix well. Add flour mixture alternately with sour cream; blend thoroughly but do not overmix. 

Pour into prepared pans. Bake 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. 

Cool 10 minutes in pan on rack; remove and cool completely before decorating.

I recommend a chocolate buttercream, or a white chocolate buttercream,  frosting for these cupcakes
