Ingredients

For Muffin

  • ½ cup Cake flour
  • 2 Ripe Bananas very ripe
  • 3 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Tablespoon Butter melted
  • 1 Tablespoon+1 tsp Milk
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Vanilla extract

For Frosting

  • 1 stick cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1-2 drops yellow food coloring optional

Instructions

For Muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Mash the bananas into paste with a fork. Whisk in eggs till incorporated, then add in sugar, milk, vanilla extract, whisk to combine. Slowly add in butter while whisking. You should have a thick paste.
  • Add in flour, baking powder, salt. Stir till all the flour is hydrated with the paste.
  • Scoop into muffin liners; or if you are using flexible molds, spray them heavily.
  • Bake at 350F for around 25 minutes(for 3-4 inch muffins, 15 minutes or so for 2 inch ones). Check the doneness by inserting a tooth piece into the center of the cakes. If it comes out clean, the cakes are done. Let them cool before unmolding.

For Frosting

  • Soften cream cheese by dicing it up and leave it out for 1 hour or so. Whisk together with honey and vanilla. Use a immersion blender for super smooth consistency.
  • Add yellow food coloring to achieve a yellow chick color.

Notes

It's best to use an immersion blender when making the frosting. It creates a smooth texture. Using a whisk or fork works too, but expect a clumpier texture depending on how smooth your cream cheese is.
