White Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Banana Cupcakes
Tags: banana, cupcakes, dessert, peanut butter, white chocolate
I had so much fun developing this cupcake last week. Not sure we’ve ever devoured cupcakes so fast around here, lol! They were just good, that’s all there is to it.
I created a simple peanut butter, banana and white chocolate cupcake that is about to rock your taste buds. Not kidding. Can’t wait for you to try these.
Be sure to check out KitchenAid and Cook For The Cure for a wonderful cause! …..AND don’t forget to enter the KitchenAid Giveaway on Picky Palate tomorrow. These goodies are up for grabs.
Pretty simple line up for you. How pretty are those cupcake liners?! I found them at TJ MAXX a few months ago. Score!
I have to admit I still stare at my new Raspberry Ice KitchenAid every time I walk in the kitchen 
Let’s get started shall we? Some sugar please!
Two pretty eggs.
Some creamy peanut butter.
A little oil and sour cream.
Two very ripe mashed bananas.
Alright, mix this beautiful batter.
Time for a white chocolate sauce. Pour hot milk over some white chips and stir until melted. You will probably have to microwave a bit longer after stirring the milk in. Be patient, it does happen Once it does, add it to the batter and mix.
Add your dry ingredients.
…..and fill em’ up. 3/4 way full works great.
Frost with my simple peanut butter butter cream then top with some crispy banana chips and a white chocolate square. I used THIS white chocolate bar cut into rectangles. I found it in my baking isle at the grocery store.
I love these. Can’t wait to make them again. Enjoy!
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 very ripe bananas
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Frosting
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2-3 cups powdered sugar
1/4-1/2 cup milk
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line 20 muffin cups with paper liners.
2. Place white chips in a medium bowl. Place milk into a microwave safe bowl and heat until hot, about 45 seconds. Pour over white chips, stirring until melted.
3. Add eggs, sugar, bananas, peanut butter, oil, sour cream and vanilla to stand mixer, beating until well combined. Drizzle in melted chocolate until combined. Place flour, salt and baking soda into a medium bowl, mixing to combine. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until well combined. Scoop batter into lined muffin cups, filling about 3/4 way full. Bake for 18-22 minutes until baked through. Remove and let cool completely.
4. Beat Butter and peanut butter until creamy and smooth. Add powdered sugar and milk until you have a nice frosting consistency. Spread over cooled cupcakes. Top with banana chips and white chocolate squares if desired.
Makes 12 cupcakes

this sounds so goodo! i think i’m going to try these this weekend.
Love the new layout too!
Your redesign is PERFECT, Jenny! Love the little logo between Picky Palate, with the silverware bundle. Cute, cute, cute!
These cupcakes sound wonderful. The liners ARE very fun, but where did you get the adorable cake stand?
I love it that you just posted this entry today and already there are over 60 comments. Way to go. Your new header is the best. Bananas, peanut butter and white chocolate… yes, a definite go-together. I think I’m a little jealous of your Kitchen Aid. Mine is RED and wonderful, but I could pass it on to my daughter and live with Raspberry Ice. See you tomorrow.

this looks amazing! I love that you combined white chocolate and peanut butter with bananas!!!
These cupcakes are absolutely beautiful! The new design is lovely as well!
PS Love the new look of Picky Palate!! Congrats…I can’t wait to get your cookbook in my hands…squee!
I absolutely am in love with everything about this post – the cupcakes, liners, the mixer (in need of one so bad!), and the raspberry color! Love the new look too. I noticed it late last night when I couldn’t sleep!
Question: Do you think this would work well as a cake if I were to double or triple the recipe?
Thanks!
I made these on Saturday night to add to the dessert table for Mother’s day and they were a hit! YUMMY!! They will be made again and very soon! Thanks Jenny
So glad to hear it Renee! Thanks for sharing
Love banana any type of cake and white is my favourite chocolate marriage made in heaven. Also love the ever so cute patty cases.
Look forward to some bananas browning soon in my house, then these shall be made, might have to hide some from the kids.
oh my gosh! I love the new look on the blog!! So bright and fresh
p.s. The flavor combo in these cupcakes sound *dynamite*
These look fab! I love the peanut butter frosting I could eat it with spoon, on a banana, on a gram cracker, or on banana bread! In short I haven’t found anything it isn’t good on.
The cupcakes are so pretty! I love the photos..and your eye-catching mixer.
holy monkeys these look awesome! Add some bacon in there and you have elvis cupcakes!
looks good enough to EAT!
What a fun and festive cupcake for Mother’s Day! These look so delicious and easy to make. Great recipe, Jenny!
It’s not fair that I have a son with a penut allergy. I love all the penut butter desserts, and could eat them everyday.
My favorite dessert for Mothers Day would be dark chocolate brownies
This is a great giveaway, makes for baking with a smile!
I love that this recipe is for 12 cupcakes. Thank you and looks delish. I have 2 ripe bananas sitting on my counter right now and getting tired of banana bread.
I love these cupcakes and the beautiful mixer! Such a fun recipe.
Recipe looks good, but oh, my gosh! That mixer! Those cupcake liners!
These look fantastic and like a winning combination. I love trying out new cupcakes. Lovely wrappers, too!
I am so coveting your pink mixer. LOVE the site redesign. xo!
I LOVE the pink cake stand. Where did you get that from?!!!
Jenny, these sound and look great! Happy Mothers day my friend!
Love the new design! And these cupcakes are to die for! Life is definitely pink when you have them around!
Hi there
these look ahhh-mazing!!! Now you are probably the most genius food creator I’ve ever seen. I would love to make these cupcakes but unfortunately I am allergic to sodium bicarbonate. Yup. No baking soda, baking powder, leaving…..Stinks. So if anyone could come up with an alternative it would be you. Got any ideas??? You’d be my hero

great recipe! however, i’m from the UK, i’m not sure if you have canola oil here, what can be used as a replacement?
These look AMAZING!!! I am so excited to try this recipe; you are making me want a cupcake right now. Seriously; these are beautiful. I can’t wait to meet you in Seattle in a few weeks; Maria has raved over you and I’m so excited to meet you soon!
Have a great night and again- a fabulous recipe with beautiful photos!
Ohmygod. These look ridiculously decadent. I need a reason to make these beautiful cupcakes!!
So…line 20 muffin cups but it makes 12 cupcakes?? Which number should I plan for?
I made these just after I sent my previous question (I got 16 out of the batch). I took them to a potluck last night, and they were a huge success! The cupcakes were so flavorful and moist and the frosting was divine. Thanks for another hit, Jenny!

Looks really great! I am loving all of the pink. I have the lighter pink KitchenAid mixer, I couldn’t decide between your pink and the one I got-yours looks s pretty in all of the photos!
