Ingredients

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Additional caramel sauce for drizzling on top

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the caramel sauce.
Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost: Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with caramel frosting and drizzle additional caramel sauce on top before serving.
