  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 1 minute

Ingredients

– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup packed brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ cup vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
– ½ cup crushed pineapple, drained
– ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)


Instructions

Creating Hummingbird Cupcakes can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
4. Add Bananas and Pineapple: Stir in the mashed bananas and crushed pineapple into the wet mixture until combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in Pecans: If using, gently fold in the chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.
7. Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.
11. Frost Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the cream cheese frosting. Sprinkle with chopped pecans if desired.
