Peanut Butter Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

I took this picture yesterday of my handsome Madison, staring out into the garden from the kitchen window.

Today I've decided to make some cupcakes, seems like ages since I last baked any. I had some ripe bananas in the fruit bowl and I remembered this recipe whilst browsing on Nicole’s Baking Bites Blog (one of my favourite blogs). These cupcakes are really scrumptious; the banana and peanut butter flavours compliment each other wonderfully and the sponge has a light fluffy texture. I finished off the cupcake with a peanut butter frosting to play up the peanut butter even more (my boys adore peanut butter, so they won’t complain).

Those cupcakes look marvellous and what a great idea to make peanut butter frosting. I bet your boys were so happy to demolish these!
