Got a bunch of over-riped bananas from a colleague of mine who wanted to chuck away the bananas into the bin. Told her I am going to be the fairy godmother who will turn thoe bananas into a lovely cakes!!!!! I completely have no idea what I am going to do but I do not want to bake another boring classic banana cake. Decided to google and this lovely recipe & decided to have a go. I wasn't sure you'd actually be able to taste the banana but the banana flavour really shines through. Top it all off with a creamy peanut butter frosting, and you have an incredible delicious cupcakes!! Overall I was happy with how these turn out-after all who doesn't love banana & peanut butter? Try them soon!
