King Cupcakes Banana And Peanut Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place a medium-sized platter in the freezer.
• Line 10 standard (2 3/4-inch wide) muffin cups with paper liners. Set aside.
• To make the cupcakes, in a medium bowl and with an electric mixer, beat the peanut butter, sliced banana, oil and water together on medium speed until mostly smooth or only a few very small pieces of banana are visible. On low speed beat in the egg, cocoa powder and the cake mix. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 1 minute or until batter is well blended.
• Spoon an equal amount of batter into the lined muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake on the center rack for 15 to 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center of cakes comes out clean.
• Remove cupcakes from the pan and place on the platter in the freezer. Freeze for 8 minutes to quickly cool the cupcakes.
• While the cakes cool, make the frosting, with an electric mixer beat together the butter and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons milk until frosting reaches a spreadable consistency. (If needed, add up to an extra 1/2 teaspoon of milk to make frosting smooth.) Frost cupcakes. Sprinkle the tops with an even amount of the chopped peanuts. Garnish the tops of each cake with a dried banana chip.

Steps:

• Make the pudding: Whisk the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the milk until combined. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add the mashed bananas and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Strain the pudding through a medium-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing the pudding through with a rubber spatula. Whisk in a few drops of the yellow food coloring, if desired (the pudding may be grayish without it). Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350˚. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.
• Beat the butter and sugar in a separate large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium and beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and beat in half the flour mixture, then the buttermilk, then the remaining flour mixture until combined. Beat in the peanut butter chips.
• Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters of the way. Bake until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in the pans, then transfer the cupcakes to racks to cool completely.
• Whisk the pudding vigorously to loosen. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 1/4-inch round tip. Insert the tip into the center of each cupcake and fill with pudding, then pipe more of the pudding on top. Top with banana chips.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3½. Line muffin tins with 16 cases. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, ½ tsp salt and bicarbonate of soda. In a second bowl or a jug, mix the mayonnaise, mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a spoon until just combined (don't overmix or your cupcakes will be heavy). Spoon the mixture into the cases and bake for 20 mins.
• When the cupcakes come out of the oven, sprinkle the chocolate chips over - they will melt and then harden again, so don't touch them.
• For the icing, combine the vegan margarine and icing sugar in an electric mixer, then add the vegan milk and continue to mix on a slow speed until completely combined. Turn the mixer up and combine for a further 3 mins. Finally, stir in the peanut butter. Pipe or simply spread the icing on top of the cakes. Store in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.

Steps:

• Beat peanut butter, oil, sugar substitute and vanilla with an electric beater until smooth and creamy.
• Gradually add eggs, beating well with each addition. Beat in banana.
• Lightly fold half the flour through the peanut mixture. Stir in the buttermilk, followed by the remaining flour.
• Spoon into 12 cupcake cases and bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes in pan, then turn onto a wire rack.
• Beat together fat-free cream cheese, sugar substitute and lemon rind until they are light and fluffy.
• Cut a small circle from the top of the cakes and cut these circles in half. Fill the top of the cake with a spoonful of the frosting and place the two cut halves on top. Sprinkle with icing sugar if desired.
• •Variations: Can replace sugar for sugar substitute (allow for extra calories).

• Spoon the batter into 24 muffin cups lined with paper liners. Bake for 20 minutes or until cupcakes spring back easily when touched lightly in the center. Allow to cool, and frost if desired.
• To make frosting: Place the butter and peanut butter into a medium bowl, and beat with an electric mixer.
