Banana Cupcakes
The muffin is made from the same batter as our Banana Chocolate Cake , which you can also bake in a loaf tin if you have ripe bananas. It is filled with a banana custard and topped with a delicious banana mascarpone cream. Here we are… Banana Cupcakes!!!
Mmmmhhh my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
These banana cupcakes have been on my mind for a while now. I finally had the opportunity to try them out. My daughter had a farewell party with colleagues who had accompanied her for a year, so she brought these along.
By the way, all the colleagues were very delighted about the delicious treat. The tray came back empty, even though there weren’t that many people. 🙂
I am quite – or very – proud of my creation, I must say 😉
Make sure you try it if you also like bananas and chocolate!
