Ingredients
Banana Cupcakes
  • 1 stick (½) butter, softened
  • 1 cup Wholesome Sweetner Zero (or plain sugar)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 large or 3 medium bananas , mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Peanut Butter Frosting
  • ½ cup softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions
Banana Cupcakes
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line 2 cupcake pans with cupcake liners.
  3. In the bowl, cream butter and Zero (or sugar).
  4. Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
  6. Add flour and buttermilk alternatively to banana mixture.
  7. Mix until just combined.
  8. Fill each cupcake liner ¾ of the way full. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
Peanut Butter Frosting
  1. Beat all of the ingredients together except milk.
  2. Add tablespoons of milk, one at a time, until desired consistency.
  3. For these cupcakes, I lightly frosted the cupcakes, froze them for about 20 minutes, then dipped them in ganache and sprinkles.
  4. The cupcakes tasted like a banana peanut butter cup!!! But, if you are going for sugar free, I would omit the toppings lol.
  5. P.S. Baby Ben's cupcake just had a very small layer of frosting, but lots of sprinkles!!!!
