Ingredients
  

Cupcake Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour Sifted for best results
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened Make sure it's at room temperature
  • 2 pieces ripe bananas, mashed The riper, the better for flavor
  • 0.5 cups milk Can use any milk of choice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
Optional Toppings
  • whipped cream For topping
  • banana slices For topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the mashed bananas, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing well until everything is fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined; it’s okay if a few lumps remain.
Baking
  1. Divide the batter among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full to allow for rising.
  2. Bake in the air fryer for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  3. Once baked, allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack before carefully removing them from the tray.
Serving
  1. Top with whipped cream and banana slices if desired before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for best flavor and moisture. Don’t overmix the batter; mix until just combined for a light and fluffy texture. Cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
