  • Author: Olivia

Ingredients

– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 3 large eggs
– ½ cup vegetable oil
– 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
– ½ cup crushed pineapple, drained
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
– 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 2 tablespoons butter, softened
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)


Instructions

To create these delicious Hummingbird Cupcakes, simply follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in vegetable oil, mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Add Pecans: If desired, fold in the chopped pecans for added crunch and flavor.
6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow cupcakes to cool in the tin for 15 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract.
10. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a piping bag or a knife to frost the tops with the cream cheese frosting.
11. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle additional chopped pecans on top of the frosting for garnish.
