Scale

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Next, incorporate the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. It’s important not to overmix!
Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the cream cheese frosting, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until creamy.
Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla until well combined.
Once cupcakes are cool, pipe or spread the cream cheese frosting onto each cupcake and sprinkle with additional chopped pecans.
