How To Make banana cupcakes with ginger cream cheese frosting

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350F. Line 16 muffin cups with paper liners. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add brown sugar, beating until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour, baking soda, banana, yogurt, ginger, and vanilla; beat at low speed until combined. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Let cool in pans 10 minutes.
