Gina's Banana Cupcakes are moist and delicious, with a perfect balance of banana flavor. These cupcakes are a great way to use up ripe bananas and make for a delightful treat anytime.

Ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, mashed. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup milk.

Instructions: Warm up the oven to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners in a muffin tin. Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in a bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well. Then add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract and mix well. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a different bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, mixing them in with the milk each time. Start with the dry ingredients and end with the milk. Don't mix any further than that. Fill each cupcake liner about two thirds of the way to the top with batter. After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. After taking the cupcakes out of the oven, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, move them to a wire rack to finish cooling. They can be eaten plain or topped with your favorite frosting once they are cool.
