BANANA CARAMEL CUPCAKES WITH CARAMEL CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

These Banana Caramel Cupcakes are moist, smooth, soft and have the most perfect banana flavors! Loaded with homemade caramel sauce, rolled in toffee bits and topped with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting - these cupcakes will drive your tongue crazy!

On top of being crazy for caramel, I've gone bananas to bananas! And with bananas, I mean banana desserts. I am one of those people who hate to eat bananas alone but like banana-flavored roasted food.

Overripe bananas add a lot of moisture and natural sweetness to baked goods along with strong banana flavor so that even the biggest banana haters will fall in love!

I have shared several cupcake recipes, but all of them are already chocolate or vanilla. In fact, I don't think I've ever made a cupcake that is beyond those 2 flavors. Now that my baking skills have improved, I think it's time for me to try different flavors.
