01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F and lining a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the brown sugar, peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons of butter until it’s smooth and fluffy, about a minute. Next, add the banana, eggs, and 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined.

Step 2
Now, slowly mix in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, until you have a nice, smooth batter. Divide it evenly among the muffin cups and pop them in the oven. They’ll take about 20 to 23 minutes—check them with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached. Once done, let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 15 minutes before moving them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3
While the cupcakes cool, whip up the frosting. Beat together the marshmallow fluff, 2 tablespoons of butter, shortening, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with a bit of milk, until the frosting is thick but spreadable. Chill it in the fridge for about 15 minutes so it firms up a bit.

Step 4
When everything is ready, spread or pipe the frosting over the cupcakes and enjoy!
