Frosting-free banana cupcakes

Frosting-free banana cupcakes

Makes a generous batch 12-16 cupcakes

100 grams unsalted and softened butter

300 grams castor sugar

250 grams plain flour

1½ tablespoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

250 ml full fat milk

1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

2 eggs (preferably large)

4 small ripe bananas, peeled and choped

Preheat your oven to 190 degrees celsius.

Fill a muffin tray with large muffin cases.

Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy and then add your flour, baking powder and salt until well mixed – the texture will be like that of fine breadcrumbs.

In a jug or bowl, whisk your eggs, milk and vanilla essence and add this to your cake mixture until the batter is smooth. Fold in your chopped bananas.

Fill each muffin case two-thirds full and bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes.
