Ingredients
Here’s what you will need to whip up these delicious cupcakes:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas), mashed
- ¾ cup sugar (can use coconut sugar for a healthier option)
- ½ cup coconut milk (canned, full-fat for extra richness)
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
Instructions
Now that you have gathered all your ingredients, let’s prepare these delectable cupcakes!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, coconut milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
- In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cupcakes fluffy.
- Gently fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
