Description

A moist banana cupcake filled with Nutella and topped with a sweet peanut butter frosting.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CUPCAKES:
  • ½ cups Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
  • 1-½ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2  Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Mashed Bananas
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • ¾ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ cups Buttermilk, Room Temperature
  • ½ cups Nutella
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
  • ¾ cups Peanut Butter
  • 3 cups Confectioners Sugar (Sifted)
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk

Preparation

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.
