Banana Cupcakes

I've tried to convince myself that these are healthy enough for breakfast.

This recipe is from Martha and the frosting is from my friend Jody.

Cupcakes

3 cups cake flour

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

4 very ripe bananas

3/4 cup buttermilk

1/2 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar

3 eggs (rom temp)

1 cup pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Whisk together flour, soda, powder, salt, & cinnamon.

Using another bowl, whisk together the banana, buttermilk, and vanilla.

Using your mixer, cream butter and brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Add flour in two batches. Alternate with banana mixture and flour mixture. Stir in pecans by hand. Divide evenly into approx 28 cupcake liners. Cook 20 minutes.

Frosting

2 cubes butter, softened

1 pkg cream cheese

6 cups powdered sugar (give or take)

2 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp vanilla

dash of salt

Cream butter and cream cheese. Add sugar 1 cup at a time until you reach the right consistency. Mix in cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Add a bit of milk if it seems too thick. Remember what I said about frosting...you may eat three cupcakes just so you can have the frosting OR you can be like Trey and just lick it off the top.
