Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 F.
-
Line 16 cupcake tin compartments with paper liners and spray them.
-
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine bananas, butter, and both sugars. Beat in eggs one at a time, then blend in sour cream and vanilla.
-
In a separate medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend this flour mixture into the wet ingredients in three batches, mixing until just incorporated.
-
Fill each cupcake liner almost to the top with batter.
-
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into a cupcake comes out clean.
-
Cool cupcakes in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then remove and finish cooling on the wire rack.
-
While cupcakes cool, prepare the cream cheese frosting: Blend cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and salt. Gradually add confectioner's sugar, mixing until smooth.
-
Frost cupcakes once fully cooled.
