Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup mashed bananas (2 to 3 bananas)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 4 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 5 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners.
- Make the cupcakes: Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until creamy, 2 inutes. Add the mashed bananas, eggs and vanilla; beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the sour cream, mixing well after each addition.
- Fill the muffin cups about halfway with batter; add 1 teaspoon Nutella to the center of each, then top with more batter so the cups are about three-quarters full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out with no raw batter, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 3 minutes in the pans, then carefully remove the cupcakes to a rack to cool completely.
- Make the frosting: Beat the butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until creamy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually beat in the confectioners’ sugar until combined. Add the peanut butter and vanilla and beat until combined. Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag and pipe on the cupcakes.

Delicious cupcakes!
A great find – The measurements are on point
A great find – The measurements are on point
Delicious! Loved these cupcakes and the flavor combination! I subbed all whole wheat flour and it still turned out so moist! I was worried that the frosting was going to be too sweet when I tasted it at room temperature, but once it is cold the frosting tastes less sweet. However, if I made it again I would still cut down on the sugar personally.
