A moist banana cupcake filled with Nutella and topped with a sweet peanut butter frosting.
For the cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°F and line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time beating and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add vanilla and banana and mix to combine. Mixture might look curdled but that is okay.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the butter mixture then mix in ½ the buttermilk. Add another ⅓ of the flour mixture followed by remaining buttermilk. Then mix in the remaining flour mixture. Only mix until each is just combined.
Fill muffin cups ½ full with batter.
In a small microwave safe bowl, microwave Nutella for 30 seconds and stir to loosen it up (heat it a bit more if necessary). Dollop 1 teaspoon Nutella on top of each cupcake. Swirl Nutella into the cupcake with a toothpick, using a figure 8 motion.
Bake cupcakes 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a Nutella-free section comes out clean. Remove from oven and set pan on wire rack to cool. Cupcakes might be sunken where the Nutella sits—that is normal.
For the frosting: Cream butter and peanut butter together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until well combined and smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix on low until powdered sugar is absorbed. Add vanilla and milk. Beat on medium-low for 2 minutes until fluffy and creamy. Spread onto the cooled cupcakes.
