To make these Easy Gluten-Free Banana Cupcakes, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 º F. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups gluten-free flour blend, 1 cup cane sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon cardamom, and ⅛ teaspoon salt.
To a bowl, add ½ cup mashed bananas.
Add in ½ cup melted butter, 1 cup non-dairy milk, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs and mix well to combine.
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture and mix until just combined.
Fold in ½ cup mini chocolate chips and ⅓ cup chopped walnuts if using. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter into the cupcake pan until each cupcake cup is ¾ full.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20-25 minutes.
Remove the cupcakes to a cooling wire rack and cool completely before frosting.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add ½ cup softened unsalted butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk, starting on low speed and gradually moving to high speed. Whip the frosting until light and fluffy, for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the frosting to a large piping bag fitted with a piping tip. Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.
Serve topped with chocolate shavings or sprinkles if you wish.
