I originally posted this recipe in March of 2008. That was just a few weeks after I started this site. I decided it would be a good recipe to repost since I had very few readers back then. When I posted this recipe I actually posted only the recipe and nothing else. No description and no talking about it, just the recipe. Today, I thought I would post at least a little more information on them, because I really do like them. In fact, I need to make these again soon because my family loves these.
These are really good with frosting as a cupcake. The frosting is a really good and unique honey frosting that works on lots of other cupcakes and cakes. The cupcakes are good without the frosting, which makes them more muffin like. I have also made this recipe using part whole wheat and it worked well.

Spoon better into muffin pan lined with paper liners.

Honey Frosting

Mix all together, beating for about 5 minutes. You want it light and fluffy.
Frost cupcakes.

Yum. Wondering if I could make those, tomorrow! Happy TMTT.
Thanks for linking up to Cupcake Tuesday! Those cupcakes look great! I have some cupcakes with a monkey theme that I would like to do and wanted a banana cupcake to go with them. I will be adding yours to my list.

that honey frosting sounds amazing!
YUMMY…honey frosting is always so good!
That honey frosting sounds so very good. I had planned on making some banana muffins today or tomorrow–I think I’ll make cupcakes out of them!
These look great and the bananas will help them translate easily into a perfect gluten-free cupcake. I would eat them with chocolate walnut ice cream…so good!
These look delicious. We have recently discovered a gourmet cupcake shop in our area…I think we are now on their frequent buyer program:) Thanks for sharing. I would love for you to join me for Crock Pot Wednesday. Come check it out.
These will be perfect for my daughter’s first birthday! Sounds so yummy and she loves bananas. (she won’t get the honey though- or very little) Thanks!
Hi Lynn! My mother printed out your recipe a while ago and we finally made them yesterday. I actually took some really nice photos of the result and I think you might like them. : ) I know we loved them. They were delicious!
