Bananas ripen too quickly.
Therefore . . . I can’t just peel . . . and eat.
I much prefer a slightly green skin.
There’s only one thing left to do.
This . . .
. . . and this
and this.
I actually doubled the recipe and made 2 small loaves of Banana Bread & 12 cupcakes!
My sweet half will eat the Banana Bread but not the cupcakes.
He has a slight frosting phobia.
I have NO choice . . .
I will simply have to eat them all!

What a fabulous idea! I need some more bananas!
Wow! These look so much better than the ones I made last weekend and put on my blog. They were my first attempt ever at cupcakes but you are obviously well-seasoned in the cupcake arena. I like the idea of using up aged bananas this way. I also like them semi-green.
Wow! This recipe totally rocks!!! So delicious and yummy to the tummy…making the “BANANA BLING” recipe tomorrow!
Thanks again for the awesome recipe!!!
Smiles to you 🙂
