Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup milk (room temperature)
  • 1 egg (room temperature)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup mashed banana (overripe)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp rainbow sprinkles
  • 12 maraschino cherries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the mashed banana, sugar, egg, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool completely before frosting.
  6. While your cupcakes cool, beat together softened butter with powdered sugar until creamy. Add in vanilla extract, salt, and heavy cream; mix until fluffy.
  7. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream until melted and smooth. Allow it to cool slightly before drizzling over frosted cupcakes.
  8. Frost each cooled cupcake generously with vanilla buttercream. Drizzle some chocolate ganache on top and finish with rainbow sprinkles and a maraschino cherry on each one!
