Yield: 18 cupcakes

Ingredients

  1. 1 ½ cups white sugar
  2. ½ cup palm oil shortening
  3. 2 eggs
  4. 2 ¼ cups gluten-free flour blend (such as Namaste Perfect Flour Blend)
  5. 4 ripe bananas
  6. ¼ cup buttermilk
  7. 1 teaspoon sea salt
  8. ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  9. ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with with paper liners.
  2. Beat sugar and shortening together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time.
  3. Sift flour into the shortening mixture. Add bananas, buttermilk, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; mix until well combined. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each 2/3 full.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes.
  5. I put ripe bananas in the freezer until I have enough to bake with. Remove from the freezer 1 hour before you need to add them to the cake batter. When thawed, snip off the end and squeeze it into the batter.
