Banana Peanut Butter Cupcakes

Banana Peanut Butter Cupcakes are cupcake that’ll wow any crowd!  These are great for dessert or as a decadent snack, and have a nice sweet, salty combination.

Banana Peanut Butter Cupcakes

These moist and super easy peanut butter peanut butter cupcakes start out with a cake mix that gets a little added punch with some peanut butter.  How do you feel about peanut butter and banana? We love the flavor combination. The sweet flavor of banana and the saltiness of peanut butter make the perfect combination.

Many times for breakfast of for a snack we will have a banana with peanut butter smeared on it.  We use a cake mix to make these cupcakes since we found that once we added the peanut butter and the frosting they really are so delicious you really didn’t need to make a peanut butter cupcake from scratch. 

PIN IT!!

If you have a favorite peanut butter cupcake recipe you can certainly use that but I think you will love this just as is. I say why make extra work for yourself when we get rave reviews with this recipe?! 

Banana Peanut Butter Cupcakes

Since our cupcakes are peanut butter we made our frosting banana. That too is really pretty easy to make. I never would have thought of making a banana frosting but let me tell you this is SO scrumptious! I’m talking about you could just lick the spoon or even just eat a few spoonfuls right out of the bowl yumminess good! This is amazing for a filling in any kind of cake you might be making!

I use a star tip and a piping bag for the frosting but you can just smear it on like you would any kind of frosting. You don’t have to be fancy pants about it if you don’t want to be.  You just want to make sure your banana is soft and nicely browned.
