Time 1h6m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups chestnut flour
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
10 tablespoons butter, melted
3 eggs
2 bananas, peeled and thickly sliced
2 tablespoons white sugar, divided
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 ½ tablespoons butter, softened
½ cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Mix chestnut flour, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar, vanilla sugar, and baking powder together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk 10 tablespoons melted butter and eggs together in a small bowl. Pour butter mixture into flour mixture; gently fold together until batter is just moistened.
  • Scoop batter into muffin tin, filling each liner 2/3 of the way full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven; transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add banana slices in a single layer. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon white sugar on top and flip the slices. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip again and sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon white sugar on top. Continue cooking until second side is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Mix cream cheese and 2 1/2 tablespoons softened butter together in a bowl. Add 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract. Whip vigorously until icing is smooth and reaches spreading consistency, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Slice muffin tops off with a paring knife. Place a slice of caramelized banana on each muffin and cover with tops. Frost muffins with cream cheese icing. Top each one with a slice of caramelized banana.
