2 Make Banana Cupcakes. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In large bowl, beat melted butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until blended. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then bananas and brandy extract. Beat in flour mixture gradually just until blended. Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full.
