We can't all be healthy all of the time so I decided to bake cupcakes this weekend...and man did I strike a gold mine! I had a bunch of bananas that were about to be bad so I knew I wanted to make something incorporating the three of them but I also didn't want to make banana bread for the hundredth time. SO why not make banana cupcakes! I found this recipe on Pinterest of course but I changed mine up a bit. As far as cake part of the recipe goes here is what I did differently: I used 3 bananas instead of just 2 and I used almond milk instead of regular. I was a little worried what the almond milk would do to it and it wasn't anything crazy but I do think it played a part in making the cake more dense which I actually really liked. I didn't make the frosting because I wanted to go with a cool little flavor mix up. I bought a whipped milk chocolate frosting and cut up strawberries on top with powdered sugar. Seriously, strawberries and bananas and milk chocolate and powdered sugar!!!!!!!!!!! Matt has already eaten half the dozen. I highly recommend this recipe. And I must add...it felt good to be bad.
