Recipe Summary Banana Chocolate Chip Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting

I was inspired by a few different banana cupcake recipes before settling on this one. The cream cheese frosting is probably my favorite part; it's just wonderfully decadent on a banana cupcake. Refrigerate cupcakes after frosting. P.S. They taste much better the next day!

Ingredients | Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon baking powder

1 pinch salt

½ cup white sugar

6 tablespoons lightly packed brown sugar

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 egg

2 ripe bananas, mashed

⅓ cup buttermilk

½ cup chocolate chips, or to taste (Optional)

1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

3 tablespoons butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups confectioners' sugar, or more to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.

Combine white sugar, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup butter in another bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in egg. Mix in mashed bananas. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with buttermilk, stirring after each addition. Fold chocolate chips into the batter.

Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool cupcakes on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.

Beat cream cheese and 3 tablespoons butter in a bowl until smooth. Add vanilla extract. Beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, until frosting is smooth.

Spread frosting over cupcakes.

I love putting chocolate chips in my banana bread, but if you want to eliminate them or substitute nuts or something, all the better. I also like to decorate them with a cute chocolate chip on top.
