Banana Cupcake Recipe

This is an old fashioned banana cupcake recipe. A great pick me up on a cold afternoon. Try it with hot chocolate. Banana cupcakes do the body good.

This recipe is one of my favorites, for two reasons. The first being, I got it from my friend Sue K. She was one of the most admirable people I have ever known. The other, naturally, being amazingly delicious.

This banana cupcake recipe has been passed on for generations, and only gets better with time. This recipe makes 12 banana cupcakes to be shared. Serve it anytime. Even for a breakfast treat.

I enjoy it around holiday time. You can use any flavor frosting you like. Cream cheese frosting or chocolate fudge compliment the banana cupcake recipe nicely.

Remember, cupcakes travel well. Take some along to enjoy at your Thanksgiving table. There are many different Cupcake Caddy and Carriers to chooses from. Bringing tem along on your visit will be appreciated and fun.
