Gluten-Free Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
If you’ve tried Betty Crocker’s GF yellow cake mix and were disappointed like I was, do not underestimate how perfectly that mix works for these moist banana cupcakes! The frosting is like a billion calories but it’s SO good. (I decorated each cupcake with a piece of fresh banana too!)
Banana Cupcakes
1 box Betty Crocker gf yellow cake mix
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1/3 cup butter, melted
3 eggs, beaten
2 tsp gf vanilla
 Combine all ingredients until moistened. Bake at 350 for 16-18 minutes. (I did  16—careful not to dry them out!)
Peanut Butter Frosting (the recipe called for regular Jiff peanut butter, but I used Jiff natural creamy peanut butter—I think either one works just fine.)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
4 tbsp margarine (at room temperature)
2 cups confectioners sugar
3-4 tbsp milk
2 tsp vanilla
 Mix peanut butter and margarine on low speed for 30 seconds (until fluffy). Add only 3 tbsp of the milk, the confectioners sugar, vanilla on low for 1 minute, then increase speed to medium and blend for 1 more minute. (Then, add the extra milk if it’s too stiff.)  Spread onto cooled cupcakes with a knife (or, do what I did—which unfortunately caused the frosting to resemble feces—and pour frosting into a ziploc bag and then cut one of the bottom corners and squeeze the frosting out in a circular motion).

Enjoy!
