Ingredients

  • 3 bananas, mashed

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  • ¾ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 3 tablespoons buttermilk

  • 1 cup chopped pecans (Optional)

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease 14 muffin cups.

  2. Lightly beat bananas and white sugar together in a bowl until smooth; add eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Beat in vegetable oil until well blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in flour, baking soda, and buttermilk; mix well. Fold in pecans. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle cupcakes with confectioners' sugar.

Recipe Tip

If you don't have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Let stand for 10 minutes, then use 3 tablespoons of the mixture for this recipe.
