How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.

  • Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in center of flour mixture.

  • Step 6: Spread tops with Honey-Cinnamon Frosting.

  • Step 7: Optional: Just before serving, peel and slice banana into rounds, and place one on each cupcake, if desired.
