#46) Banana Bites & Cinnamoney
I made these mini cupcakes a few days ago in a bit of a rush. I was attending a get-together and had procrastinated on making something to bring along. Then I found a bag of frozen ripe banana in the freezer and these wonderfully coloured mini liners in the cupboard - it was like fate! Okay, maybe not fate, but a very strong suggestion.
They were quite a hit and I would definitely use this recipe again, but next time I might dress it up with some chocolate chips or raisins!
