bannana and walnut cupcakes with cream cheese frosting

I've been a little bit lazy with posting things, but here i am back again (if anyone is out there!)

So.. My boyfriend LOVES bananas. When i told him that this would be my opening sentence for the latest blog post... his response was' uh... is there another way you can phrase that?'' haha
I tried my best to think of anoher way, but failed. Anyways, so my boyfreind loves bananas and he can eat as many as three a day. I am not that big a fan, so to me, that is strange. It was our one year and 6 months anniversary just last week and so i decided to incorporate his love of bananas into a little gift of banana and walnut cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Its quite easy to make and it is pretty delicious if i say so myself!

Ingredients for Banana Walnut cupcakes

100 grams butter (room temperature)
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup of plain flour
1/2 cup of self raising flour
1/4 cup sour cream
2 large OR 3 small bananas (ripe and mashed up)
2 tablespoons of milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
pinch of salt
1 cup crushed walnuts (or more if you want)

• Preheat oven to 160 degrees celcius (fan forced) or 180 normal.

• Use an electric mixer to mix up the butter and brown sugar first. Mix them well until a soft brown paste.

• add in the eggs and mix well

• sift in the two different types of flour and the bi carbonate soda. slowly fold the flour into the mixture until smooth. Add in the milk. If the consistency of your mixture is a little thick, add in a little more milk. Add in the vanilla essence

• mix in the mashed bananas, sour cream and walnuts well. Add a pinch of salt. The consistency of your mixture should be thick and 'dollop-able'.

• Divide into your cupcake patties or tin!

• Bake for 30 - 40 mins, depending on how good your oven is. You can check by taking a knife and try pushing the cake down. If it springs back, it will be done. Also, putt a knife through the mixture. If it comes out clean should be ready.
