Banana Cupcake (Muffin)
Yield: 12 cupcakes
Bake: 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes
Ingredients:
2 over-ripe bananas
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
Directions:
Combine wet ingredients (bananas, sugar, eggs, and butter) until smooth in a mixer or by hand. Sift in the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Grease a standard size muffin tin or use paper liners, fill cups 3/4 full. They are fully cooked when the tops are firm to the touch. ***Tip - if you use only all-purpose flour instead of whole wheat you can omit the baking powder.
Basic Cream Cheese Frosting
Yield: piped frosting for 12 cupcakes
Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese (I used Organic Valley)
1/2 stick (4 tbsp) unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
Allow the cream cheese and butter to warm to room temperature (at least 4 hours). With a mixer or by hand, combine all ingredients until smooth and fluffy.
I forgot to buy a piping bag, so I just cut a corner off a ziplock bag, filled it with frosting, and piped onto the cupcakes. This was my first attempt at piping frosting and, although they didn't look professionally done, they looked pretty good!

Here's an obvious mom tip (which I wish someone had told me!)...keep the cupcake with the lit candle out of your little one's grasp!
