Banana muffins with vanilla frosting


This week is the gorgeous one's BandCamp. Last year, I made cupcakes and cookies for the kids last year and this year is no exception. This is my latest recipe for banana cupcakes. Oh, they look lovely...

Light the oven to Gas 350F, 190C
Mash together...

2 large bananas
3/4 cup of caster sugar
1 beaten egg
1/3 cup melted butter

then add to this mixture....

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Mix it all up and half fill 18 cupcake cases.

Bake for about 20 mins until risen and golden

Frosting.....

Cream together 1 stick butter and about 2 cups icing / confectioners sugar until quite firm. Use a mixer for this; it's so much easier.
Add in 1 tsp vanilla extract and about 2tblp milk (if you need to make it softer)

Swirl the icing on top of the cakes and sprinkle on some grated chocolate

Enjoy!
