Looking For An Awesome Banana Frosting For Cupcakes

I am planning on making a banana frosting this weekend and I just planned to add Lorann Banana Cream Flavoring or maybe banana pudding mix to my Buttercream...I was going to mess around with it tomorrow. If that doesn't work out, I go to Google. LOL
Ooooo! Thanks scp! I assume we mash the bananas up with everything after making the recipe, then add it in?
My Husband mashed up some bananas and a little bit of cinnamon and add it right to the buttercream icing. It tasted awesome.
Awesome! Thank you to both of you! I wonder if banana extract would work also.
We use banana extract...it makes it easier to keep inventory, since when you need banana (or raspberry, cherry, coconut, etc.) frosting you can just add the extract to your vanilla buttercream.

Thanks, I might test that out first. I'm just worried that the frosting would look funny with mashed bananas since they turn brown.
Yes, you can mash the bananas and incorporate the sauce. To top it, drizzle the sauce. This is one of my best cupcakes. It is also good with cream cheese as the base, but you can't add as much because the frosting is already not as stiff. The net is full of the original recipe. There is no need to try a variation... Brennan's is the best. If you don't want to buy the banana liqueur, you can add an extract, but a premium extract is almost as much as the liqueur. The liqueur will keep longer than the extract.
Thanks SCP, just looked up the Brennan's Bananas Foster recipe and, the thought of adding it to FBC is making my mouth water. Who needs to frost anything, just eating it with a spoon would make me happy!!! LMFAO
The Bananas Foster sauce is already brown. I actually make a banana cupcake, make the sauce, take out the bananas, and just use the sauce. The banana taste is strong in the leftover sauce. After the bananas are discarded, the sauce can be frozen.
Thank you so much!
I use fresh bananas in my buttercream - smoosh them & add a bit of lemon juice, it's fine & tastes divine and not fake tasting.
I just have to thank scp1127 for the FABULOUS suggestion. I didn't even post the original inquiry, but needed to make banana frosting as well.
I made Brennan's Bananas Foster (first time flambe-ing...so much fun), let it cool down a bit, put it in a food processor to puree it and added it to a fresh batch of SMBC.
Oh. My. Bananas! The frosting has an AMAZING depth of flavor that you definitely wouldn't get with just mashing bananas.
Thank you thank you thank you...and add like eleventy-four more thank yous! 
Can you make the banana foster without using the liquer and rum? I don't keep alcohol on hand and would like to try to achieve the same flavor. I have heard rave reviews of the recipe! (I am also a little afraid of setting fire to my kitchen instead of just the run, lol)
