Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter room temperature
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large Egg room temperature
  • 2 large Banana mashed
  • 1/3 cup Crushed Pineapple
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Pecans toasted
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter room temperature
  • 3 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons Heavy Cream
  • 12 Dried Pineapple Ring

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cupcake tin with liners and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together. Whisk well and set aside.
  • In a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg well incorporated before adding the next.
  • Add in the banana and pineapple and beat well.
  • Add in the flour and mix until just incorporated. Fold in the coconut and pecans until just incorporated.
  • Fill the cupcake liners until they are 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 18 – 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • While the cupcakes are cooling, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until it is well incorporated – about 3 minutes. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well. Add in enough heavy cream until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Fit a piping bag with a piping tip and fill with the frosting.
  • Frost the cupcakes.
  • Take the pineapple rings and make a cut on a part of the ring so you can wrap the ring around like a flower. Top the cupcakes with the dried pineapples.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to three days.
