Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Updated July 05, 2019
Today is an exciting day! Amy Atlas’s book, Sweet Designs, hits the book shelves. I got my book last week and I am in love! Amy’s book is filled with over 175 recipes and dessert displays that are easy to create at home. There are so many fun and creative ideas in Sweet Designs, I want to have a party every day! Amy’s dessert tables are fabulous! I didn’t have time to create an entire table yet, but soon! I couldn’t wait to try one of Amy’s recipes though-the book is filled with lots and lots of sugary sweets. My kind of book:) I made Amy’s Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting, one of the recipes included in the Pastel Pretty party. I love all things pastel and Amy’s Pastel Pretty Party is perfection…and so are the Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting.
The banana cupcakes are simple to make, which makes them perfect party food. The banana cupcakes are super moist thanks to the bananas and sour cream and are topped with cream cheese frosting. These classic cupcakes are sure to be a hit at any party. Amy jazzes the cupcakes up with licorice pastel candies. Since I still have multiple bags of Easter M&M’s lying around the house, I used Easter M&M’s. I knew loading up on the after Easter candy sales would come in handy:)
The Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting are a reason to have a party on their own, but Amy’s Pastel Pretty table is filled with pretty pastel treats. A few of the sweets include: vanilla cake, pound cake bites, sugar cookies, eclairs, and cotton candy sticks. Oh, and did I mention Amy created a tablecloth made with Necco Wafers? Genius! I can’t wait to have my own Pastel Pretty party!
Sweet Designs is filled with lots of party planning ideas, crafts, recipes, and tips. All of the dessert tables are spectacular! And don’t worry if you are not crafty or creative, Amy makes party planning easy! So before you plan your next party, pick up a copy of Sweet Designs. Amy will help make your party a smashing success!
We loved these Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting and we think you will too! They are perfect for any party or just because! Enjoy!
Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
For the banana cupcakes:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 ripe medium bananas roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 cups confectioner's sugar
- Pastel candy or sprinkles for decorating optional ( I used Easter M&M's)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake pan with paper liners. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and continue to beat, adding one egg at a time until thoroughly combined. Add the sour cream and bananas and mix until combined.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add flour mixture to the mixer and beat until just smooth, 1-2 minutes. Add the vanilla and beat until just combined.
- Fill each cup about 2/3 of the way full with the batter and bake, rotating halfway through, until the cupcakes are golden and a cake tester inserted int he middle comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the frosting onto each cupcake. Using an offset spatula and holding the cupcake in your hand, spread the frosting on in swirls by turning the cupcake in your hand. Ring each cupcake with pastel candies or sprinkles, if using. Serve immediately or store in an air tight container and refrigerate up to 3 days.

One thing my husband and I like to do is throw movie-themed parties. Guests have to dress up is something that is somehow related to the movie and we cookie things that tie into the movie theme. When everyone arrives we eat, drink, and watch the movie together.

I love Christmas although I don’t know that a Christmas dinner is necessarily a “party” event. I have a 7-month-old though and look forward to getting into the birthday party thing as she grows up!
Birthday parties are my favorite to give and attend.
My friends and I always try to find silly, ordinary events to throw parties about. Once we had a “first cold front of the year” party, and another time, we had “Raisins [my friend’s cat] got his rabies shot” party. The most fun one was definitely “Laurie bought a kitchenaid mixer/final exams are over” party where we made a TON of desserts with the new mixer and served them to friends to celebrate the end of the semester.
My favorite kind of party to throw would probably be a birthday party for my kids. Nothing is better than having a fun theme, great treats and kids who appreciate it and really enjoy it!
A birthday party is the best kind to throw. Everyone shall have a good day.
My favorite kind of themed party is a girls night out at someone’s house. Drinks, great food and definitely great company!!!

I enjoy birthdays, so throwing a birthday party is my favorite!
I don’t need an excuse to bake other than finding someone to eat it.
My favorite party to give is not one in particular. I like to have a party so that we can come together with family and friends, some of whom we haven’t seen in forever. Or at least it seems. Good friends + good food = great times
I think baby showers are great parties to have.

We have a huge invite the neighborhood and all relatives every 4th of July. We have a huge yard, so plenty of room for the kids to run wild with room left for the adults to sit in their lawn chairs. Everyone brings food and we have such a good time. I think everyone looks forward to it each year.
