Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp  salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the eggs and sugar until lightened to a cream color, about 2 minutes. During mixing, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
  • On low speed, mix in the oil and vanilla until blended.
  • Mix in the sour cream.
  • Add in the flour mixture until it is incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  • Stir in the cinnamon and mashed bananas.
  • In a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners, fill each liner with 1/4 cup cup of the batter.
  • Bake for approximately 25 minutes; until the top of the cupcake feels firm and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely and decorate.
