Instructions
Cupcakes
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tin with wrappers, set aside. In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients–mashed bananas, coconut oil, vanilla, and egg, stirring to combine. Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix. Divide the batter among the 12 cupcakes wrappers, about ⅔ of the way full (I used a large cookie scoop). Bake for 17-19 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Cool on rack for 5 minutes, then remove from pan and place directly on rack to cool completely.
Icing
  1. In a small saucepan, whisk the flour into the milk and cook over medium heat, whisking continuously until thick, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla and let cool to room temperature.
  2. In a bowl attached to a stand mixer (or hand mixer), cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. It should not look grainy. Add in the cooled milk mixture and beat on high speed until it’s a whipped cream consistency, several minutes. Spread icing on cooled cupcakes. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator.
