BANANA CARAMEL CUPCAKES WITH CARAMEL CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

I’ve been going caramel crazy lately. I made a ton of batches of both my Homemade Caramel Sauce and my Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce and have been topping EVERYTHING with it. I can’t help it. The stuff is addictive.

As great a topping as caramel sauce makes, there was no way in hell that was all I was gonna use it for. So to put my Homemade Caramel Sauce to better use, I swirled some into this banana bread and stuffed some inside these cupcakes. Those recipes were a caramel dream come true, but I still had loads of caramel sauce, so I thought “what the hell? Let’s bake more desserts!”

On top of going crazy for caramel, I’ve been going bananas for bananas! And by bananas, I mean banana desserts. I’m one of those people who hate eating bananas alone, but adore banana-flavoured baked goods. Overripe bananas add so much moisture and natural sweetness to a baked good along with a strong banana flavour that even the biggest banana hater would fall in love with!

I’ve shared a few cupcake recipes on here now, but they have all either been chocolate or vanilla. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever made a cupcake that was outside those 2 flavours. Now that my baking skills have improved, I think it’s time for me to venture on to different flavours. I already had some overripe bananas leftover from my Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe, so it was the perfect opportunity to bake up these moist and fluffy banana cupcakes!
