Instructions

1 With a hand or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and the sugar.
Scrape down the bowl, then add the remaining wet ingredients (through vanilla).
Mix until combined.
2 Add half the flour and all the cinnamon and leavenings. Stir briefly (on low) to
combine; you don't want to send flour flying everywhere! Add the remaining
flour. Once it's mixed in, scrape the bottom of the bowl again, and then mix at
medium speed for 30 seconds.
3 Scoop batter into paper-lined or well-greased muffin cups, filling each one at
least ¾-7/8 full. You may have a little batter leftover; grease another muffin
cup or mini Bundt pan and bake it in that.
4 Bake at 350F for 24-27, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the
cupcake comes out clean. This may take a little longer if your bananas are
larger than medium. Remove cupcakes from the tin to a cooling rack, or tip each
cupcake on its side in the muffin cup to allow steam to vent from the bottom.
5 In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat together the powdered sugar,
peanut butter, and vanilla until crumbly. Add ⅓ cup of milk. Beat until creamy,
light, and fluffy, adding a little extra milk as necessary until you get the
texture you want.
6 Scoop frosting onto the cupcakes and use a knife to frost them, bringing the
frosting to the edge of the cake. This doesn't need to be perfect, since you're
garnishing them with peanuts.
7 Place the crushed peanuts in a small bowl. Roll the top of each frosted cupcake
in the peanuts to coat.
8 Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Cupcakes will stay moist and
delicious for at least 4 days.
