Banana Nut Cream Cheese Cupcakes

Banana Nut Cream Cheese Cupcakes

I have yet to meet one person who doesn’t love banana, so I decided to switch it up a little bit and make these banana nut cream cheese cupcakes more fun. I’ve added a cream cheese filling to the recipe to make these banana nut cream cheese cupcakes creamier and offer a different taste rather then the normal banana cupcakes. With the addition of the cream cheese makes these cupcakes even more irresistible.

Banana Nut Cream Cheese Cupcakes

On top, I piled high some cream cheese frosting, and added a sprinkle of walnuts for the finishing touch. This I promise you, you won’t be able to eat just one!

Banana Nut Cream Cheese Cupcakes

We always have bananas sitting on our counter top, and many times we just don’t get to them before they are too ripe. So, before you throw out those overly ripe bananas, bake up some of these delicious cupcakes.

      Hello, I am trying your cupcakes for the first time ever! & well right now they are baking but i noticed that the filling took over of the top part with the rest of the banana batter.. is that normal? I hope so! I can’t wait for them to be done.
