Banana cupcake & caramel frosting

Hello everyone.

Today’s temptations are these delicious banana cupcakes with chocolate chips and some walnuts for extra added crunch.

I decorated the cupcakes with a chocolate caramel rose, a taste of heaven!

Here is the recipe, enjoy. 

Banana cupcake & caramel frosting

• 2 1/2 cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 1/3 cup (300 g) regular sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1/3 cup (85 ml) warm milk
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 – 1 3/4 oz. (30-50 g) walnuts
• 1 3/4 oz. (50 g) chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

Line one or two cupcake trays with 18 paper cases.

Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside for now.

Put the butter and sugar into a mixing bowl and beat until fluffy.

Turn down the speed to low and add the eggs, one at a time. Beat between each addition, but do not overmix.

Add the sifted flour mixture and the warm milk.

Add the mashed banana.

Walnuts…

…and the chocolate chips.

Beat until just combined.

Use an ice cream scoop to make equally sized cupcakes, one scoop per paper case.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18 minutes.

Leave to cool completely.

Make the caramel frosting, you can find the recipe here.

Caramel yumminess…

Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M tip, then make a rose or a swirl on top of each cupcake.

If you need some help with the piping you can see some step-by-step pictures here, or watch this video from my YouTube channel to get some ideas (Norwegian speech).

Baked With Love.

I made these for my daughter, she brought them to her friend who celebrated her birthday. Rumor has it they were very much enjoyed…

I hope you are inspired to bake, and remember: sharing is caring!

Have a great day everyone, I hope it will be a good one!

Hugs from me to you.
