Best Answer

Unsaled as most recipes call for a bit of salt anyway. Using salted butter will make the cupcakes too salty, and simply leaving out the salt may make them too plain.

On a side note, you should never buy salted butter. Using unsalted allows you, not the ingredient, to control the taste.

In general always use unsalted butter in cooking. You can always taste it later to see if added salt would improve it.

Salted or unsalted butter best for baking?

Regular butter will make your food taste slightly saltier, but can usually be used in place of unsalted butter. In many baked items the proportion of ingredients has a direct effect on the finished product. Not just the flavor. The interaction of salt and sugar with leavening agents such as yeast and with the gluten in the flour can affect the rise of the product and the finished texture. Baking is a science. A small change in proportion can have a big effect.

Does it matter if you use salted butter instead of unsalted butter in banana bread?

No, not really. Unsalted butter is usually recommended to keep the sweet, light flavor, but a lot of good bakers I know use salted butter. Most recipes call for unsalted, but it's up to you. Try it a few times; there's no reason to only try to make one loaf. My favorite recipe uses regular butter. Unsalted butter just makes it a little healthier.
