Soft, sweet banana cupcakes that come together with simple pantry ingredients and no fancy equipment. Moist, fluffy, and perfect with any frosting – or just as they are.

Ingredients

Scale

1½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

¾ cup granulated sugar

4 ripe bananas, mashed

¼ cup cooking oil (neutral, like canola or avocado)

1 large egg, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-well muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine mashed bananas, sugar, oil, and egg.
  4. Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Don’t overmix!
  5. Scoop evenly into cupcake liners (a large cookie scoop works great).
  6. Bake for 17-19 minutes, or until tops are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  7. Cool on a wire rack. Frost if desired, or freeze for later.

Notes

  • These cupcakes are super forgiving. If your bananas are extra juicy, don’t worry – just mash and mix.
  • You can swap in ½ cup of whole wheat flour if you’re feeling it.
  • They freeze beautifully. Just wrap well and store before frosting.
  • Topping with banana slices? Wait until right before serving to keep them fresh.
